Poem
By now the storm on the lake had ceased My small boat had started moving slowly after the blow To the far east, I looked at the sun and it smiled I couldnt help, but just smile and give back my whole I was born seventeen years ago And until now, I have endured a lot of trouble Some of them cause me to stumble But mama always tell me to get easy and blow my gum into a bubble Ma, is that the life you told me was going to be nice You told me it was going to be a bit difficult and you gave me advice I listened but I see life is not a bit difficult But it is wholly difficult Because Im here not to enjoy, of my life, even a minute Day in day out I find myself in prison as a culprit Where am I wrong, ma told me I was right That is if I was ready to fight Mother told me to turn my life into a battleground She told me to have a speed more than that of a greyhound And I got myself armed I took my helicopter, but it proved useless Then I got into a boat and with my enemy I came face to face But the wind seems like its not even tolerant It's sending nasty waves against my boat Is that what you call nature? Disturbed me, it had from midnight Until the sun came, smiled at me, ceasing the fight. Where is my enemy, I need to fight him Because mum told me I must fight with 'victory' being the theme I cant see life no more And I can fight no more.
