Poem: Don’t Get Sidetracked By the Frivolous Things in Life

by Adesewa Oyinkansola, 1:30pm April 21, 2014,

We are too much carried away,
Wining, dining, and merrying around.
We are too much carried away,
Lost in the world we are meant to truly enjoy.
We spend all of our time and resources,
In things that matter little to our soul,
We are blindfolded to the nature around us.
Little do we see in the nature that is ours,
We hardly enjoy the nature meant for us.
We are too much carried away,
Wining, dining, and merrying around.
We are too much carried away,
Lost in the world we are meant to truly enjoy.
