[hometext] => Well, just ruminating on my life and my arduous journey to surviving and the tears swelled up my face and I put the pen to paper to bare my heart open!
[bodytext] => My fears are here written My tears in my heart hidden My faith lies with the heavens Come, make my earth a worthy haven My past is littered with cares Cares uncared for lingered still My present harbors nothing but fears Fears that have turned me into steel Still I am, am I unloved? Still I am, am I pursued? Still I am, am I assailed? Still I am, am I a vagabond? Born was I in a home, legitimate By mates who were legal mates But five months afterwards Fearsome strife was their reward Mother left and never turned back Law and society gave her the sack Whilst I was left to cater for myself From sixteen was street my friend itself Nevertheless was I always counted Among the best of whatever I acted In works and studies I never lagged Yet, all resources I lacked Every time I knelt to pray Amen Birds will fly over my head with Omen Why is it that these assail Not minding my feeble frail Stepmum derived joy in whipping my hands Battering my body even in her dance No where was I given a chance Whilst I endured uncountable bangs I struggled and I entered the university Only for an uncle to kill my brother in the city Living me to become an object of pity For no one was ready to give me a cedi I struggled and I got to the final year Only for the brotherhood to give me tears For they think they got my destiny in their hands Alas, we are all on earth by chance I suffered pains, anguish and hunger Yet, I forgave all and rescind anger Now, I achieve Nirvarna Buddha here I come: a brother Jude Adebosoye Ogunade Ghana, 26/12/2005 [comments] => 3 [counter] => 240 [topic] => 31 [informant] => PoetJude [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
