Little things

Little things may become fiasco,
or great mishap, if we ignore,
as little, as very little.

A careless throw of a plantain peel
though on the corner,
is a matter of risk , slip and fall,
the pedestrian faces fracture
and unexpected expenditure.


A match stick still half burning,

Cast on the straw on the
thatched shed, like evil eye
burns leading to cataclysm,
flames engulfing whole.


Belief and pity the wrong woman,

bring woe to the man.
give her shelter and money in need,
poison becomes your food,
a thing of little only to sting you ever.


In a temple precincts, where monkeys

Stay, play and prank,
A bag of valuables, passport
Currency and jewels, by your side,
You turn head to the other side,
Gone with the monkey,
Your trip is gone,

Neglect of little things may lead to
great failures and costly miss.
ruin life's happiness.
