EPHEMERAL
We all come naive to this world
With innocence and indiscrimination
of race, tribe, culture, religion, and politics;
without worries about the future
As time goes by, influencers water our horrific
thoughts with their sprinkler mouth!
Putting us to the test,as a potter does his bowl
With their hand-pruners, they dress us; chipping away at our humanity
The new us; is fantastically corrupt;
Although devoted to religion,
we carry deadly reptiles in our bellies;
We spit venom, we maim and we destroy! These are our trademarks
As one day passes into another,
So passes life, one way or the other
our existence is ephemeral
But we seek to be immortal
