More or Less

‍

Sometimes less is more, you know.

Is it there a way to know,

what is the best way to go?

Or is it more or less the same?

It it just another way ...

… another way to say you no ...

‍

All is Yours

do not ask for life nor death

live and learn to be yourself

teach others to help the rest

how to help and pass the test

do not long for others’ gains

those may only serve their ways

act and don’t ask for return

fortune pays when the dice turns

do not wait for any deed

earn just what you really need

what was once yours think again

if your fate was to regain

when the time comes just release

it simply might not meant to be yours …

ever once again

A poem for my friend Yahya A Gimba inspired by the proverb:

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"

Googling Google

Searching on Bing

I found something

Phone is ringing

​

Problems are banned

Thanks dear money

I have my job

Where's my honey

​

I see two hands

And golden rings

Gifts my future

Offers to me

​

On my own wedding...

Cheers up, Yahya A Gimba!

Need

It’s not pleasing to feed,

where grass is sparse.

You’re seeking in vain,

bare soil is not green,

don’t be mistaken,

dry straws cannot fill

your pillow good to feel!

Far away you find a stream

and a sweet, soft bed to lie in!

Try

The first slash of the wings

doesn’t take high a hatchling.

Never look below,

find ahead what’s waiting!
