Poetry In Motion

I wrote this piece a while back.

You visualise all that glitters

All that shines

All that, that sparkles under the moon light

You’re blind to the struggle

Oblivious to the pain

For now the sun shines

There is no more rain

You bleed the struggle in your veins

How it crippled you forcing you down

Oh how the bitter sweet now you wear the crown

Now that you have made it

From a statistic to a realistic

You will never look back

To where your fingers first touched the dirt

Where you put in the work

A forgotten memory as the thought only brings hurt

Why shine away for it was what had made you

Blind in the brightest day

No food just crumbs on the table.

Now you look down onto your fellow man

Rather than help to stand up

You stay in command

Never to fall back down to where we all stand.

Congratulations to you, well done

May your life be happy and long

Here is me looking up to you saying

Don’t forget where you come from.

I’ll be there soon, not to worry

I’ll see you soon

But unlike you

I taught my brothers and sister to comes up

And I’m bringing them to
