All Passive
Yeshiembet/Yeshi Gemaneh 1940 (Harar)
Who would think
That time would pass
It deed, it swept away
That is the route of life
Everything will be hiding
Like a shadow
Will be rolling like clouds in the sky
It is only in a twinkle of time
Nothing remain static
Except one that is Him
The Lord of Lords
A creator of heaven and earth
Not few, not you and I
All guest of this universe
In the meantime
loving one another
Living peaceful life
to do something meaningful
sharing a little thing in hand
will make a difference in one's life
the rest is all passive
About this poem
Whether we like it or not, all things are passive. Nothing static. Over the years on my life journey, I have seen, witnessed, observed and experienced countless events, slowly, but surely all passive.
