If life is painted a portrait
I wonder to ponder
Who put the dark colours in it
So please don’t always ask me
How am doing for nothing
cos if you look
Closely you will see how far have gone
There is no better days with out this
Moments I make every time everyday
Time after time season after season
I am just a living soul passing through
My time with the views of it’s realities and creations
The things I face are not created by me
The life I live is a full page of nature
I did not make up the words I paint
Neither did I ask to write you a poem
All the time
If life was so beautiful with a portrait
So I ask again who was with hand of the colour’s of darkness
So I realise that evils are not far away from beautiful things
I could see clearly that all that glitters are not gold
Even when is tempting to feel comfortable with this dark pains of life
Yet life is never a bed of roses cos there is no free lunch in a free town
Am happy despite the fears of life
Am hopeful despite the ups and down
Of life i face
Am strong despite the challenges of life
Am resilience despite the dangers of life
Am free despite the powers that be
Am closer to my ancestors despite the distraction of my spiritual being
Life is deeper than deeper life
And don’t get it twisted with fun or ignorance
I can’t play with fire when water is far from my domain
There are more beyond the life we live
There are more beyond the life we face
So despite the wars that be before our views
Despite the hardship of life
Despite this unwanted inflations of life
Despite the tribulations and agonies
Of life
Despite the pains
Despite the long suffering
Yet I smile cos through the
Portrait of life I could see
the power that be
With the hands of the dark colours
They are not far from the closed doors
They are obvious but invisible
They are not here to wept out our tears
So the journeys of my life becomes more interesting
Cos how long will I stop living
If I don’t live now among this colours of life to live again after and beyond
So I got no other way but to live with my full self
Despite all and above all life gives
I chose to always give thanks to the higher ones
The ones with the energy above and beyond the hands with the dark colours
Despite all and above all life gives
God is the greatest
I tell you all no lie
So with all I have
And All I am
Despite the ups and Downs of life
I always never forget
To give to God my humble
Gratitude
