Hassan Haji Poet Lay

Dare To Dream

Dimmed and crestfallen
You object for the vices!
Your trimmed hopes
Your dampened spirits
See what has befallen you
You played the prey
You braced for the claws


In the grinding grip
An enduring grotesque 
A slew of bottlenecks
Verily the grain of misfortunes
You grew pale and sunken
Dejected and conquered
In a fairytale
'Who spelt your doom?


You object of mockery
Drop that flawless skin
That shadow you revered
Unlock that potent self
Enliven your reasons
For life is seasons
Seasons for reasons
Reasons to live for.

Hassan Haji July 25, 2015 at 5:11 PM This is a thought provoking poem meant to dare and energise those of us feeling helpless,drained and are unable to overcome their fears, failures, problems or even vices on their lives. We need first to dare ourselves to break free from the 'defeatist syndrome'.
