I Have Written a Poem
I have written a poem
Bourne out of the deepest core of my reality
A poem written out of fear
Fear suffered out of pain
Pain as a result of a bitter past
I have written a poem of how the African gracefully broke the chains of slavery
And also a poem of how even in independence, the African survives on Charity
This poem I wrote
Holds the keys to a doors of hope for a better tomorrow
A tomorrow who's yesterday is today
A today filled with blurred visions
Blurred visions of a tomorrows of hope
This poem would make a difference
This poem would change the sequence
This poem would ignite resistance
But this poem wouldn't breed disobedience
So don't think its all fashion when you see my eyes locked 24/7 behind shades
Because it might just be my own way of hiding my vision from the lights of shattered dreams
The dreams of yesterdays hope
A hope still being hoped against hopes of tomorrow
But until then, I just have a dream
A dream achieved fully in writing
So I have written a poem
And this is the poem I wrote
