Rivers are not lazy

Rivers are not lazy...

It’s we human only
who tend to go slow
rivers continue to flow
ere the banks overflow
and
cause floods
which even Gods wouldn't know
how to un-flow

so rivers of life as we all now know
continue to flow
as before
no matter how lazy we are.

all are in waiting on the far bank
hope we all swim by
the lazy river of strife
you all now deliver
as a river of life
so very inordinately slow

I have written a piece in the "Wisdom Of the Great Bear" where he makes the comparison between the way of mankind to that of a river from its birth, until it re-joins the Ocean at the end of physical existence.
Life is not lazy, I feel for those that cannot see or feel that life has a reason, I suppose that one day we will all find out.
A goodly write there young Bard, I enjoyed watching the flow from the bank,
Yours as always, Ian..
