I’m sorry but I chose to scribe
I’m running out of words
I really wish I figure out how to set this
To you
I was never the child you wanted
I can’t face you into the eye because of my shame
I extinguished all the family flame
I was to be the yellow rose of the family garden
But I chose my path
The desires of my heart parted with your expectations
I know it hurts to yield reeds in from maize seeds
All your efforts to customize your son blew away
To me as well it is just like a live surgery
Leaving you ways I never wished but what doesn’t kill us is good for us all
I might be leaping in the dark but I’m in the right direction
My heart follows it desires
A pilot would have been, politician or even
An optician for my knowledge is like a field I cultivate it in my own way
But my mind and heart are in the people.
I believe arts are a voice for the voiceless community
In media and arts lies the power of words
Standing up for the people, being their comforter
Motivator and activator if possible
... Thus why I chose to scribble...

Altered Perspective
“The higher you go the cooler
“The air and weather become.”
No sooner had I been a Ruler
Than I was utterly unwelcome.
“We elevated you to the Chair
“Of comfort and to Authority.”
It turned to be an electric chair
That torched me to Eternity!
“You’ll receive very fat peaks...”
Attractive package so I thought.
Ah! What deep and deadly peaks
From vultures in a drought!
“Adopt being a true Motivator
“Who, by example must lead.”
I turned out to be an Activator
Of worker indolence instead!
“Management means doing a job
“Through others; one, two or three.”
Yet, menial work bereft my snob,
All are doing work through me!
‘You must Control, you must Lead.”
How sweet power sounds to be!
Yet, en masse my toe they tread
‘Before chasing me up the tree!
“You should do all but Plan,
“And eschew deviating Course.”
I’m isolated, I am just One
On the mercy of a United Force!
The Higher you go the Cooler....
No! The Higher, the Hotter:
I’m brewed, they are the brewer
I seethe in Management’s pot!
**Management Principles construed from a different perspective!
