Friendship, a burden and benefitA Poem by Dandy MbuongA 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. © 2016 Dandy MbuongAuthor's Note
