Message: By forcing something ,  you can call your own death...." in general" 
 In relationship: When a mowan " man " rejects you ,  don't force that relationship because it can end so badly. 
Learn sometimes to accept defeat and moving on. 

...You were not born to  win everything on this earth...
If you want to be always winner , one day you won't make it and end up killing yourself.

Panagiota Romios April 25, 2023 at 7:17 AM Alfonso… “ You were not born to win everything on this earth” …. This , I see in action at this this site. I won’t read poets who . only write for contests. Even Olympic skaters are not in every contest. But I realize it’s a game. Poetry is not a game to me, it’s a craft. At5 years am but a beginner. Nice to know a Bantu. Pangie Alfonso II Warally Ngengethe Mussabwa Chris April 25, 2023 at 9:23 AM You are welcome poetess... I like the site with all activities which encourage new and old poets. Poetry Soup is one of my favourite poetry sites. Bantu poetry is always " parabolic, metaphoric , Ironic " ...Cultural. Sometime you can confuse a Bantu PROVERB with a Bantu poem. Example: Kuku kapanda baskeli.." A cock rides a bacycle" to mean a young boy" teen" on top of an adult fat" big" woman. Again: A slender " thin" man on top of a fat woman
