Irony

Nigerian writer: Irony
Author-Felix Brambaifa

A place of choice
Outside the forceps of grief
Liberates one's voice
Like a long incarcerated thief

The truth was said
Of when man's need be sated
His greed misplaced
Transcends limit, unabated

Fulfillment is not in numbers
But in the ideas we hold
So it is indeed no wonder
That even the rich grow old

When man desires a thing
His will, soon, deeply perverted
Defiles his natural being
For desires not truly wanted

But through all this
exist a glaring contradiction
Of many a thing gone amiss
As if by heavens decision

Nigerian Poet
