Things About Man! ! ! Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

There are some things I have discovered about man for sometime now.
'The average' man wants 'peace and security';
'The genius' man wants to break new grounds;
'The talented' man wants to display;
'The business' man wants all for only himself;
'The domineering' man wants all others to serve him only;
'The wicked' man wants sufferings to circulate.
'The introvert' man wants to be left alone;
'The extrovert' man wants to be heard;
'The cunning' man feels he is the wisest;
'The foolish' man thinks all men are 'equal';
'The political' man thinks lying is the best;
'The good man' believes goodness will go round one day;
'The religious' man wants morality to be the only standard;
'The science' man says all things must be explained;
But 'The African Government' man does not believe that there is a time to go: he wants to stay in power till his last breath.
