LESSONS LEARNED!

                              LESSONS LEARNED!                  

Books are holy and kept safe, they could teach you too many lessons!

The learned're quiet, illiterate mobs jump up and down to show them off!

People drink or consume illicit drugs and commit criminal acts and fights,

Growth, education, progress and their future affected in all walks of life!

We've created nations of colour, race, poor and rich exploiting Nature,

Causing wildfires, droughts, floods, landslides, food shortage and scarcity 

You failed to go with nature to adopt healthy means to live a simple life.

Civil wars and all natural tragedies cause many great losses and poverty!

Peoples lost their lives and livelihood leaving families in distress and grief!

Dead bodies are left in streets, people caring them discuss philosophy of life 

Common words uttered to say who is lucky, all agree the dead are fortunate!

World is upside down, lives lost, you build more prisons to prevent crimes?

Money breeds money, it is resting in banks to give you income as interest!

The rich buy luxury goods, waste a lot and cause atrocities everywhere?

People work hard to make both ends meet; many kill themselves of worries,

Rude people' re more, kind hearted less and economic disparity reigns!

                   

Books are holy and kept safe, they could teach you too many lessons!

  The learned 're quiet, but illiterate mobs jump up and down to show them off!
