Let Him Explore!

Let Him Explore
For no man plants a garden without eating of it
No thirsty fellow rejects good drinking water
No man works and does not desire his wages

Let him explore
For the land and the fruits are his
Bought at a price obtained from his sweat
It's his only possession and there is no other else

Let him explore
For it's the oath and promise you made
An agreement before all and sundry
Never to deny him his acquired property

Let him enjoy
The juicy fruits hanging on the stem
The crops in the middle rear
The fruit beneath the surface

Let him eat and be satisfied
For no other fruit is as sweet as this
Ripe, succulent, soft and attractive
It's a natural healing for many diseases

For know you not the ill of an uncultivated land?
Matured, bought and owned but unwilling?
What is the use of an uncultivated land?
Breeding diseases lacking health and pruning?

The river without an outlet stinks!
So is the tree whose ripe fruits are unharvested
Attracting all manner of rodents and pests!
Disgusting and of no use to the farmer

So let him explore
For he has the right tools
To cultivate and bring a bumpy harvest
The benefits of fecundity and fidelity

Man, beware of shifting cultivation
For only on this land thou shalt prosper
He has not promised another while it lasts
Dung it, fertilise it and keep away rodents

I speak in parables to the couple
Matured and have the spirit to discern
Not children or teenagers who are babes in wisdom
But those who understand the signs of the time

And to those who it may concern
Who spurns, rejects his legitimate invitation
I say unto you, what I proclaim before all
Let Him Explore!

Comprehend thou this?
