WHEN I GROW UP
When I grow up
I will love to know why
People call a Snake specie Rattlesnake,
When all snakes actually Rattle
When I grow up
I will love to know why
People call death A Bitter Experience,
When they have actually not Tasted death
When I grow up
I will love to know
Why people say they escaped with the skin of their teeth,
When their teeth actually has no skin
When I grow up
I will like to know
Why people use the expression thin god,
When God is actually omnipresent
When I grow up
I will like to know
Why people say watch your back,
But you have no eyes behind
When I grow up
I will love to know
Why people say something is larger than life,
But life is actually unquantifiable
When I grow up
I will like to know why
People want you to make hay while the sun shines,
But we are actually neck deep in winter
When I grow up
I will like to know why
People equate the devil and the deep blue sea,
When the devil is supposed to be dark and repulsive,
And the blue sea is bright and inviting
When I grow up
I will love to know why
People say don't leave your head hanging,
But your head is sitting squarely on your neck
When I grow up
I will love to know why
People say a baker's dozen,
While the baker obviously has more than a dozen
When I grow up
I will like to know why
People say let's call it a day
While the sun is Blazing
When I grow up.......
