by Dr. Kennedy Obohwemu
Ever wondered why
So much trouble's on earth?
Wish they could just fly
Away like pains at birth?
Our mothers know how it is,
The great pains in labour;
But there's great joy after this,
A moment to savour;
Still there's much to ponder,
Just where did they come from?
There's every need to wonder,
For they have filled the drum;
We haven't lost hope,
Just a craving to know;
More easily will we cope,
And gather courage to sow;
It's been on for ages,
But won't last forever;
They come in different stages,
And they prove quite clever;
Now how do we trace it,
And where do we begin?
It seems a direct hit,
Can't stop us singing;
We look up to the sky,
And the mind travels far;
All we can do is sigh,
Our troubles came from afar!
