Poem Title:
Poem
At the footbridge, I read, "The way to positive change does lie up there" So said the note, written in black On a wooden board, which shined so much That my gaze could hardly hold up the glare No, shouted the people who were already up It is not fake Just do it, climb on, the hardest is the first step The rest shall be easy, you will love it more as you approach Here I was, brought to a footbridge I did have the choice, of my own acts I was the sole judge I could choose to bring about positivity to Earth Or I could choose to go on way, letting idleness be my strength Why, the world is sick, the world would gladly accept a helping hand Why, even if the people walking on it do be blind Why, Mother Earth does be not Mother Earth would welcome a change to a peaceful state So I climbed up the footbridge, indeed The first step was the hardest But I climbed up and I passed all my tests I was made of inner feminine endurance, I was made to lead It has become my cause, to bring some peace here Here, in this fallen world, here, which does be to all of us so dear But which we do mistreat, out of egoistic selfishness Pray, with the climb up to life's footbridge have I been blessed I shall make of it my life's mission, my aim Everything else does be lame Like caring for myself, like wanting for myself Like thinking of only myself, like boasting about myself Rather, it does be best to lend to helping hand It does be best to guide Man So that someday, when all our eyes shall open up in another world We would not be accused of having lived with our eyes covered with a blindfold 22 July 2016
