In the land offering lush riches, <br />To care convey decent of needs. <br />Everything where flourishes, <br />And to harmony wide leads. <br /> <br />But politics by unreason ditches <br />Edifice of progress. For greed, <br />Runs the glitch that nourishes <br />Him to devour crude with speed. <br /> <br />To care he want not does for who fishes <br />For light dearly prized that succeeds <br />As flower each one cherishes, <br />Eden-like with pods it breeds. <br /> <br />Neither based is the land in his wishes <br />To boom, nor words bright does he heed <br />Of wisdom. His worth perishes, <br />For he clings not to light's creed. <br /> <br /> <br />NOTE: <br />The word crude in line 8, is a synonymn of the word crude oil.<br /><br />Obinna Kenechukwu Eruchie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-land-of-abundance-in-the-hands-of-unreason/
