Man, An Endangered Species

Eons on anvil, hit and miss, 
Earth’s not mastered mood of Nature. 
But look at this fool of a man, 
On dunghill a much crowing hen, 
As if has reached top of stature. 
Easy may it be to reach there, 
Much harder to take the due care. 
His seems the right candidature, 
Be atop endangered species!

Attitude To a Bigger Dream

It became  bigger than it should be
As i realised it was impregnable
Pregnancy over ninemonths to be real
As i heard all it's walls kicking
To the pain i am to feel
when the  water is to break
Then fear struck, the thoughts of me 
elude
As i almost came to compel to do the 
exclude
For i had the thinking of fear and 
defeat thoughts 
Ineffective became the dream i had 
inside as i gave it thoughts of fear
And made it's death out of fear 
certain
Making the bearing of my fruits to be 
of misfortune

Untill i one day profoundly  seen the 
need of thoughts of faith and courage
As i became the magnetism towards 
my dream
For the scenary behind the picture 
was of success nomatter how badly 
things would seem
Facing the origin of my inferiority
I started making being a candidature 
a priority
I became a candidate for any 
examination in life to restore my 
immortal baby
Found myself to be the antidote in 
modification in confidence as i 
overcame the insecurities i had
For i allowed faith to sweep all my 
doubts and made the baby to be 
manifest
