For Instance
Suffering, stress and sadness weigh the mind
so much effort and sacrifices yet cannot find.
For instance, having a terrible fall from climbing a small hill
making bad luck produce so much thrill.
For instance, nurturing a desire continuously burning
for a tender being who’s blind to this yearning.
For instance, a gloomy night void of lights and the moon
or heartbreak on a damsel causing a lost bloom.
For instance, misfortune in possession of one’s number
or wedding ceremony shifted from April to next year’s November.
For instance, a figure-eight model with a facial scar
or with no option left, going to Kenya from Morocco via a car.
For instance, a false accusation lands one as the subject
trying so hard to prove innocence becomes a failed project.
For instance, Paul is paid from robbing peter
the anger from this discovery difficult to cut short to 1 meter.
On the river bank of the other side lies the dreams
is enough stimulant to swim in opposition to the flow of the stream.
Disappointments and failure do not have a life’s creed
to move on and reach expected heights, their effects we must rid.
