POETRY

MEN AND THEIR WAYS Written by Japheth J Omojuwa

Our ways are different from Heaven’s path
Our Justice and Peace are divided in parts
To keep peace, we kill men, maim women, destroy children
Justice is one for the rich, one for the poor and another for our brethren
Our ways are different and different from right

For the Love of ourselves, we kill another
An eye for an eye until darkness becomes the order
To heal one, we hurt another. A child or the mother
A nation is only rich because it can milk another
Our ways are different and different from right

A mother dies in want and penury
The child calls for a celebration and a party
He says to celebrate her life, when she could have lived celebrated
We live like with no heart, like a mind sated
Our ways are different and different from right

Through the ages we are yet to conquer
One last enemy and still we look and wonder
Who man’s last enemy could be. The one who will stop man
Man’s only enemy is man.
He seeks many ways, yet goes the one different from right
