Ugwu Cornelius Chidera Poet Lyric

The Dry Bone Can Rise Again

Any day hardship  
comes my way,
It turns it into a  
moody day.
I can only give a  
painful laughter
to be my comfort  
rafter.
It then reminds me 
of my mom's saying
"the dry bone can 
rise again"

Among my friends, I  
am condemn.
As a biscuit  
bone,when I follow 
them,
they will beat me  
unfairly.
I cry back home  
ocean of tears daily
"stop weeping" I  
encouraged myself 
for
the dry bone can 
rise again.

In my 
neighbourhood,i am 
nobody.
very fruitless and  
useless somebody.
I lack further  
endurance.
I can do anything in  
annoyance ,
but I have to cool 
my  temper for
the dry bone can 
rise again.

In my class,I am the  
dullest,
even as i'm the 
tallest.
When I talk,shorts  
and skirts give me 
mock. 
They jeered and  
made me a laughing 
stock.
I swallowed all the  
bitter pills because
the dry bone can 
rise again.

My mother said 
situation of mine will 
move;
from negative to 
positive,
zero to hero,nobody 
to somebody,
illiterate to sturdy.
I believe her 
because 
the dry bone can 
rise again.
