If only the moon, the day to rule
And the sun rules the night
Then mortals can labour at moonlight dawn
And recline when the sun burns
If only the masses could rule
And not One ruling Many
For what reason lies in such reality
That One should control the majority?
If only books could write Men
And not Men writing books
For man will distort life’s story
But nature preserves history
If only the man could make his world
And not the world making the man
For the world sets the race
But every man to dictate his pace

Deep, with a probing heart does describe you.
Great poem! not sure about the first line though, something seems amiss.
Nice one! Dammy the Poet!
DAMMY…YOU GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I DEY COME. I GOT SOME SHIT!!!!!!!!!!
@RemiRoy: I get what you mean, the first line should have read: “If only the moon rules the day” but it was intended. I wanted the first line to be different from the second line but I would look at another way of expressing it. Thanks.
@Seun-Odukoya: ‘Come’ quick. Lol!
If only i could write poems this good, lol.
I doff my hat to you, Dammy.
If wishes were horses…
