Wonder Why Poem by Imo Peter

Wonder Why

Thought swings like pendulum
Heart beats unusual rhythms
Mind ponders on adventure
Head turns upside down
Eye drops torrential downpour

How comes Lions prey on cubs
How comes calves eat cows' faeces
Why does honey tastes vinegar
Why should my ocean a cup of water
Why should my mountain a heap of sand

What makes an eagle myopic
What makes cheetah to run like snail
Why should an iroko a stunted tree
I wonder why my giant
The least of the least
Why?
