The restless nature of man.

Esiobu Chisikamdi Vivian 2002 (Anambra state)



     THE RESTLESS NATURE OF MAN


Man has that restless nature
everyday man sweats to get food
and for man's heart to be nutured
Sleep was invented by nature
to be rest assured that man rests.

Man has abused that gift from nature
for his unnecessary hunger
by doing the right thing at the wrong time
forgetting Nature can't be cheated.

Man has fought much to win over mother nature
forgetting that no matter what
Nature must take it's course.

Man having dare mother nature
by interfering in it's course
Mother nature had no choice
but to invent 'Dark hours '
known as night
to cultivate that spirit of rest in man
yet man still dare nature.
