"METROPOLITAN MAN" BY FALE JOSHUA
metamorphosis into a wider area network
against his initial desires to remain a local area network.
Tradition
has taught us
live is all about reproduction
The concept of
Be fruitful,multiply, fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
has intoxicated man that his needs are insatiable
He becomes drunk in his quest to gather the firewoods of this world
And now the affairs of this world has stained him
in vain he rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat—
now he tries to cleans,
It would not go hence he is depress,
entangle and lost between his thoughts of
if it's okay or enough.
My gender's greed is green as gall
certainly,
it tastes like it.
Careful is not a diction on their tracks
So they kick and cross the lines
only to get disqualified in confusion
on the road not taken.
Give life a healthy competition
It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest,
only to end eating the bread of anxious toil in anguish.
One day you shall hate all you have toiled for
knowing that you shall leave them here on earth.
