BY MEHARI BEYENE
Enjoying without desires
Dialogue with souls
Living with only pocket money
Walking with skeleton touch
Toning your soul with flesh
If soul never dies,
Flesh never lies
The devil is in detail
The flesh is in brief
The soul is neat
If soul never dies,
The flesh never lies
Speaking truth for the voiceless
Sharing compassionate love for pessimists
Benevolent breathes for the heartless
Looking self in footstep of others
If soul never dies,
The flesh never lies
Enemy demands your flesh
To hunt it with hearsaies
Grabbing your attention with interest
Keeping your soul to sustain your flesh
If soul never dies,
The Flesh never lies
Your mind pulling your leg
Your flesh wondering on physical entities
Worthy to follow your soul
Cause your soul never deceiving you
If soul never dies,
The flesh never lies
