I Am Not Afraid

I AM NOT AFRAID

I am not afraid to be a poet
Not afraid to write words
That will waddle through
The emotions of men
Not afraid to be criticise
Not afraid of neglection.

I am not of my truth
Let my lies keep hunting for me
I am not afraid do be among those
Who eat and thier plate never dirty.

I am not afraid of the black
leading cloud of our nation
For my twinkling bright star shall
Cover the livid of the clouds
And the land shall be peaceful again.

I am not afraid to hold pen
Not afraid to make the Unchangeable change in our land
With the words of my bleeding pen.

Not afraid to use metaphor
Not afraid to use simile
Not afraid to use sarcasm
Not afraid to use irony
Not afraid to personify
Not afraid to criticise
And be ciriticise.
For i am a true bard of the soil.
