Poem
Confidence Many a soul in youth conceives The world as a shrine of goodness, From the depth of his heart perceives Man as an offshoot of kindness Dreams of the brotherhood of man Upholds the flag of peace up high And views earth as a divine land Pitched under the heavenly sky. Yet when stinking reality Spears aloft its venomous head, One may be appalled verily And lose faith in the world instead Raise doubts on credence of some men Who with the instinct to survive Do not spare any foes or friends But can stab them to be alive. Many a folk in youth hankers For those at the helm of the state To have clear minds free from blunders, Soundly manage a country`s fate Bring rays of hope to weaker souls Hail fresh shines through the country`s gate, But first, foremost and above all Safeguard interests of the state. Yet when glaring truth comes to light, Truth that`s often hard to digest, It obliterates one`s delight Gives rise to ripples of stark stress And confidence loss in leaders, Who promise heaven and the sky To retain or come to power Caring not whence resource will fly. Some leaders yearn the state to change, Uplift moral values of man, Render the land less and less strange Ward off folks from sinking in dens; Yet promises don`t feed bellies Nor does man live on hope alone; Lofty promises smack smelly And are seedbed of the unknown. Captains who wish to steer the boat And save passengers from a wreck Do not glance at shine of their coat, But as stalwarts stand on the deck Safeguard passengers from harsh gales Clear delusions of folks away Properly reorient the sails And bring confidence to heyday- Confidence in every action And in every institution.
