The crow sat on a cow happily
as the white animal walked lazily
the bird black cawed feverishly
the cow sauntered with no aim
the crow went with it all the same
the one silent and flabby
the other noisy and skinny
a contrast visible all through
the black and white being of colour
the small and big of appearance
with an addition of other qualities
the soft alternated with loud
the nobility juxtaposed with treachery
the likely opposed to the unlikely
the enamoured compared with the endangered
both travelling together in a style
that of being one upon another in a move
Well, that be life in all aspects
might sound good or bad in all respects.
Day: November 27, 2014
The river is almost full
it flows with a great pull
a scene rare to see
as it is always free
water is a rare phenomenon
as the rains failed to come
unwanted things occupy the river bed
where cattle loiter instead
it appears as a polluted basin
where the city’s waste drains
the foul smell it emanates all around
destroy the environ in an abound
the ghastly sight was an eyesore
as the city became unfit to living
the water now flows with an ease
extending a fresh look and lease
it is but wonderful to see the gush
as the river runs with a bridal blush.
That be the age they say
the degeneration in a way
the physical deterioration
the mental disorientation
run simultaneously with a reference
almost instantly without deference
before one could realize
the set back has grown in size
the joints suffer in excess
the memory slips in a stress
there you are in a hold
gracefully go with a fold
joyfully pass into the cloud
with saying nothing aloud.
