VOICE OF A POET

Gathered courage to put emotions on paper
Ink agrees to be visible to anyone that pays attention
Pain introduces itself in a miserable situation
This time,not about love or infatuation
The poet cries with unanswered question

This time,I may not write a dark poem
Nor solution to my problem
Though inspired no one, neither that was the aim
The hidden best of me is what I always claim

Being Nobody's favorite is okay
Proud to be a poet with a few facts to say
My efforts and time is of no pay
On paper, nothing takes my profounding feeling away

Let me close the book for the ink has run out
Turn off the machine for toner  has run out
Why was my poem a source of an insult
When it was rated for adults
I talk about the truth to leave no one with doubts

SECRECY

It's way better unsaid,my true story Is untold.
My diary is empty because I leave no traces behind
Reputation is who people think you are.
Character is who you are.
 I am pyrite,the fool's gold
I am not pure,I have done much more evil than good.
I wear beautiful smile with deep pain inside

I am a cobra.
No matter howmuch  beautiful I look
Keep a distance I contain venom.
If I tell you,I must murder you.
For it to remain a secret.
I a jeopardy virus which is more than a petabite
For a gadget to handle
If I tell you I must kill you.
I haven't been a good person lately.

TEARS OF A JUVENILE

Oh,it was not my intention to live this way!!
Why do you oppress me like this,
I'm incacerated at my parents house
My wish is to consolidate with my cousins
That Feeling of solitude even when adjucent to kinship folks


My joy is a pandemonium cause in my homestead
I'm laughed at because I do not know the letter 'A'
I do not know the thrill feeling of being in school
All I'm told is that I'm the definition of vanity and I can not do anything profounding
I'm called names that are more painful than   flogging

,
I'm considered as the walking corpse,
I need a shoulder to cry on
My guardians have the heart of a lion
I might go wrong but I need a pardon
I'm called inanimate but I don't know the reason
 I'm  an outcast because I do not have parents
I cease to exist in my guardian eyes that I'm the child of the deceased





Just like mirror, reflected what is already there
You told me not to worry when I lost my parents 
You said you are also my parents 
But I feel I'm in bondage,worse than servants
Why do you treat me with spite
I need freedom,I also have the right


How  can you sleep without showing any sign of soporific
At Least you urged me that nothing lasts forever
You told us to live cohesively and try my best forever
I'm voiceless,I cry to the nature
I can't withstand my sorrowful life,I hope I have a clean future
What did I do? For me to pass through this torture
Will sanity  not lead my ambition to denature
Oh,my cry in the orchard as made the beautiful tree to shed leaves

NEITHER LUCID NOR BLURRED


Surrounded by immortal elders at the at the door to heaven
I hear a voice of silence whispering in a solemnly tone.
That we have been blinded by the aesthetic fallacy 
Planted hemlock leading to eternal mortal as a price
A warning from moses' will be witnessed before it's time to rise


I'm traumatic and terrified, I close my eyes
I see babbling persons in white beyond the blue skies
The weak are made strong and magnified
 
I see pride and vicious man crying
In a fountain of lava together with a morning star
For a millennium enduring pain without getting any scar

I open my eyes and hear a lucid voice
Eternal dearth is your choice
The hour to reconcile is now not later
The holy son is returning feckly now not later

THE BOYCHILD

I'm a dependant too
Going through intellectual problems too
Hardwork is the key to success??Year that's true
Vulnerability is the so called'pull down syndrome.'
I strive not to compete but to be strong
Unluckily everything goes wrong

I also need clean water just like her
I also need  motivation to contribute to national development
Effectively
I'm climbing to the top please don't shake the ladder
As hardwork is the best method to avoid bright future shatter
I'm struggling because nothing comes on the silver platter

Not only Keep girls in school but also boys
The boychild  is also vulnerable

The boy child has vivid dreams to fulfill too
Under same circumstances all go through
The boy child weeps for support too
