IN MY WORLD

 

My short life is a loan

For my failures, only I is to blame

And when the day is done

The earth absorbs my moan

In my world

I choose not to be grief-stricken

And absorbed in the ills of the world

The amplitude of my hopes

No one can debunk

As a fish gasps for breathe

When it’s tossed into earth

So do I walk in pursuit of bliss

That cannot be felt

When pleasure becomes incapacitated

Deeply and tightly

In contempt’s seizure

I refuse to allow the strings of hope break

And the melody of life flow out of key

For then we hear the echoing silence of brokenness

My salivating tongue languish in famish

I have spoken and acted without rest

My belief: a little faith can move mountains

Our world my be hopeless

But mine is hopeful

I dutifully wait and cling unto thin ropes

As I am faced with unavoidable loopholes

I want like a deserted wife

Longing for her lover’s homecoming

As the ocean hasten to the sandy shore

And pride dines with prejudice at ego’s table

My heart budges to the soothing succour

Of the simple fact that I still live on

It’s our world

Influenced individually by us

Where there’s a will there’s a way

All for one, one for all
