The Poetry Marathon

Some say legends are born while others say they are made but i guess it all depends on your perspective

Legends are people who have overcome difficult circumstances not minding their status or giving excuses to serve as limitations and barriers why they couldn’t accomplish a certain goal

It’s so unfortunate that the mortuary host celebrations daily and they are served the unrealized dream or goal that didn’tcome to fruition because your breadth was taken from me

Hope is only a grain of sand for we don’t kmow when we will bid this world farewell

What is life?? Is it about love or hate, is it about a person’s personality is it the way one chooses to live his life despite all odds

We all have questions we ask ourselves what’s our purpose on earth??                      Why was it my mother that bore me and not someone else’s was it predestined or was it just a mere coincidence

Some live the day one by one without knowing anything they have lost all hope and think their fate is to suffer??

What is your fate i ask thee and where is your faith?

If your fate has been cursed i challenge you to change it do whatever you have to do accomplish the greatness in you don’t quench that insatiable fire burning in you

Even if the world gives up on you, your parents disown and you’re rebuked by everyone and your name has been changed to failure you have no right to give up on yourself

And when searching for success don’t allow the lust push you to making unavoidable mistakes because in the long run you will regret it

Do not be weary of tomorrow when you aren’t done solving today because tomorrow never dies and everyone as a success story as long as he fails to give up

We shout our anthem as if we have conviction in our hearts we are all jokers

We mock the Anthem disobeying our leaders and also failing our duties as citizens

We bring disgrace to our motherland as the tears cascades from her eyes

She’s filled with so much pain so many of her citizens are caught doing illegal things and all her tears are in vain

Even the rich exploit from the poor making them poorer they have no conscience and because of that they can’t sleep at night

It’s said that there’s no sleep for the wicked and truly since he has stained his hands there is no peace for the wicked

They fret at night because of the robbers and like chickens they beg that their lives be spared but did they spare the lives of the people they took to enrich themselves

And like Pharisees after doing wrong things we come to church to beg for mercy or to squander money to get God’s grace we are all clowns and this world is our stage the only thing that differs is time by time the clowns and the audience switch places

The question we ask ourselves is who will be performing next and what will his performance be like how will he wow his audience

Let the show begin and a loud applause is being heard.

The challenge that everyone does because of the boredom corona has caused

I once asked mother nature why has thou afflicted us with such a curse and she said you never have time for yourself nor your loved ones the only you all care about is money

You even neglected me when last was i trimmed, well taken care of and fed with manure, when last did you call to check up on your loved ones

Sorry for those whose lives will be lost it wasn’t by my hand but y’all are unyielding are sometimes it takes a very disastrous circumstance for you to start caring about one another

After all families can be together and enjoy their parents, children can be at home and be loved by their instead of hearing the lashes of canes daily

Also don’t leave me it’s all about how good your rhyme is

Some say i went to check the master piss (master piece)this brought so many laughter to people’s face as they shouted don’t leave me

She brought it to tell us even when this period is over we shouldn’t neglect our loved ones and also care for everyone and everything from the plants to animals to the neighbours, our children and everyone around us whether the person has brought smile to our faces or not.

We all were born for a reason to accomplish a certain thing, to be acknowledged for a particular thing but hard work is what differentiates us all

We all want to be praised, we all want to be seen as the head or be praised in accordance with the good we have done but how many of us have the discipline not to lose sight of our goals

Distraction will always knock at our doors but how many of us have the willpower to chase it away or flee when it comes near thee

We were all born for a specific purpose and If we are dedicated to only that purpose there is no way we won’t achieve what our purpose on earth is

But we end up chasing trivial things, losing sights of our goals a wise man once when chasing fish if you see crayfish do not be distracted for that isn’t your goal but a  distraction to accomplishing your goal

Be patience and prepare for when opportunity meets good preparation there is success and so ye not be dismayed but be steadfast and you shall accomplish your purpose on earth

I have seen and watched many a men fall while chasing a beauty and his goal

I love both and i am determined to get both still bringing my dream to realization as i try to hold my relationship from breaking

To be honest it’s a hard task but nevertheless i am willing to pursue it till death because a man never runs when faced with challenges but strives to overcome

Sometimes she gives peace and at times it might seem as your whole world collapsing trying to find out why she is like this but ironically it’s both way

She asks herself why can’t you have time for her??                                                                      Why can’t you be there for her??                  Was all you said just to gain her attention and make her love but deep down you understand it’s more than what she’s thinking for now she needs to be patience

Time waits for no man and so you have to buckle up, making haste while the sun shines so as to be part of the great men of your time though she doesn’t see this all she’s your lack of attention towards her

On some nights you surprise her with dinner, a bit of dancing and good sex and she thinks her man is back not knowing he still has his eyes fixated on his goal and what he is doing is just to make you want more of him

It’s called the law of push and pull though he that’s playing doesn’t know all he knows is that he is putting his best so both of them can enjoy the fruit of his labour

But the question is will she be patience or like other girls who has lost their morals and have been nicknamed they are for the streets or she will stand her ground and be there for him and help him in accomplishing his goals

I have fifty minutes to bring up a nice poem but it seems my head is getting a bit of an ache

I believe in everything you do strive for perfection, it’s not just about writing a piece but a masterpiece that’ll be celebrated even when you’re long gone

People see poetry as mumbo jumbo of words
that we just write they fail to understand is more than just passion it’s the truth that the world is afraid to see

I write my feelings, my emotions, the truth about the world sometimes it might seem i am loosing my mind but i am having a conversation with the world

Even when there is no one to pass on my feelings to it seems the words i have produced on the blank sheet with the ink is happy with me

It’s as if he’s delighted i brought him into this world and how one day can be called a masterpiece and be kept in a showroom for the world to glance at him and appreciate the beauty of the words

The world should understand not just the beauty of the words but what it’s communicating to each and every one of us because every line differ though relates and affects us in a way which we do not know

Poetry makes my silent words become spoken it gives the weak and fragile a chance to navigate his way in the toughest of all situations and bring out the best in them

I am short of words but i still find a way to communicate with the inner me as it produces thoughts, expression and voices which will bring this poem to an end

In every piece is life but not just life it’s us, it’s our desire, what we are passing through or a memory it just depends on what we call it for we see what others don’t see and say what the people that see are to scared to say

so you much call us the prophets of our time or whatever it may be but we won’t stop writing until the revolution takes place

• I in a separate land called land i feel in love with a beauty whose character is like a odious vermin

But she pleads with me not to leave her for she knows how much disrespect i take daily

Her lies is enough to put a man to his early grave, she cheated once and as swore to remain faithful ever since then

But my trust for her has withered still trying to add manure to see if it can be saved hopefully it won’t be a waste

As the days goes by i try to wonder why a person would cheat, i lose hope in the world gradually as i try to count the few nice ones that are left unfortunately the number reduces daily as their hearts are being damaged

You ask yourselves why will i commit suicide??, After all his wealth why will he take his life??

Have you ever felt pain, bottled up emotions and at that point there was no one to trust, no one to tell you to live the day as it goes by and you end up pulling the trigger before it’s too late

They say love is passion, it’s a story, it’s nice but do not be deceived all roses have thorns, you want to love but are you ready to bear the thorns??

Can you repair a damaged soul and withstand the pain of getting pricked a thousand times by a rose if not leave it be and chase happiness

Love isn’t poison, it’s a blessing, relationship is getting the cure to a person’s poison it reveals your true nature how patient you can be

Do not give up for few drops of water makes a mighty ocean and if you can conquer her emotions then a day will come and her character will also be conquered by true love
