The Tomato Forgets That It's A Fruit Poem by Qiniso Mogale

The tomato believes that it is a vegetable
The tomato deludes itself that it is a vegetable
The tomato tastes like a vegetable
Many believe that it is a vegetable
Many treat it like a vegetable
But the tomato is a fruit
The tomato shall always be a fruit
The tomato, however, forgets that it's a fruit.

Many believe they are what they are not
Because of money some believe that
they are immortal
Because ofmaterial wealth they believe
that they are invincible
Because of political power some believe
that they are gods
Because they can sing famous singers
believe that they should be worshipped
They are indeed worshipped
They are are called idols
But God says all human beings are like grass
So, like tomatoes who are fruits but believe
they are vegetables such people delude themselves.

The tomato forgets that it's a fruit
The tomato believes that it's a vegetable
People forget that they are not flesh
The flesh shall be buried
Their souls shall return to God
There they shall be judged
They forget that they shall die
Let not people behave like tomatoes
who forget that they are fruits and believe they are vegetables.
