Many times I wonder
Like a wanderer
In the Heath of the desert
Desolate and inhabitable

Sometimes I ponder
Like the philosophers
Hypothesizing
Like the scientist

The chemistry of it
I wasn't able to mixed
The right ingredients for it's makeup
I wasn't able to have it's epiglosis

To some they have a good report of it
Some are at d mercy of it
Itz disposition is at the hand reach of the selected
While some have a bitter experience of it

Man as a living being
Is said
To live by it
Live for it
Live through it
Live in it
Live with it
And get everything according to itz dictate

Although, we talked about it
Make use of it in our daily living
Create an artificial meter for it
Use it as a guide for almost all our dealings

We tend to manage it
We call for judicious use of it
A great gain it is for them that are up to it
Abiding by its law and principles
Guides individual affiliations and worth
Been conscious of it is of great benefit

I know many are thrown
Into ultimate confusion
Many are trying hard to locate the meaning of this piece
While many neglect it
Without reading nor looking into it's nessage

The meaning is both surface and deep
Your derived meaning
Depends on your perception
But any meaning you attached to it
Must be in line with
An inevitable and indispensable thing
Both mankind and animal can not do without
