Poetry: People's differences

by Peter Nzuki

Created on: May 15, 2008

DIFFERENCES

I am wise, the fools heart lies to him

Unaware of the incompetence and ignorance

Compelled by pride and arrogance

Such blinding and noisome vices

And an ill objective,to win popularity

Shallow thoughts and deep wounds

The end result is only melancholy

And days all similar and no change




The wise quietly analyse situations

Keenly and cautiously he tries

His loving heart makes him very humble

His tongue observes courtesy

And his fertile wish is to achieve

To make every new day better

To sow a healthy seed and leave a trace

And die a hero; not a celebrity




But life is about choice

'Though temptation reigns

It's normal; all can't be same

Those with eyes help the blind

Only if there exist willingness

To give and to receive

But the biggest challenge in life

Is being able to appreciate differences
