Friendship, a burden and benefit

Friendship, a burden and benefit

A Poem by Dandy Mbuong
"

A poem about friendship between someone who is able in one aspect than the other and seems to bear the entire burden in the relationship. But in one way or the other, we also benefit from our friends

"
To comfort our earthly failure
We make mockery of nature
But in wisdom are all things made
And everything is by nature prepared.

It is an impossible demand for sure
Impossible that no magician can conjure
The mountain cannot visit Mohammed
No matter how much efforts made.

But if Mohammed is weary of his visit
Let him quietly his friendship quit
For as there is burden in visiting
So lies same burden in hosting.

In both ways lie benefit and burden
And friendship, a benefitting-burden.
