Happiness And Sorrows(poetry) -Tinydick by Nobody: 6:11pm On Nov 21, 2016
Until of recent ,,,,,reading of anything long is no go area for me except it is related to football.
But over the past few weeks, things really changed, I started growing interests in reading after I had visited the Literature section on this forum cool thanks to wonderful writers we have all over here who I've been following silently but keenly,,,, someone like skarlett,shewrites,pabon,
Creeza,,,,,in fact dem plenty,,,,,I no even remember,,,, thanks y'all

Soooooo,,,,,,as I'm enjoying other people's work, another interest pop out and that's writing my own which now gives birth to this thread where I 'll be sharing my Joys and sorrows in form of poems.


NB: I'm novice and I want to learn,,,criticism and corrections are highly appreciated.

Apology for my future grammatical blunder(s), I'm sure, very sure it (errors) will come in abundant measure grin

Gratitude!! We re part of ur existence
Epitome of beauty, strength, greatness
You 're filled with with Einsteins
Pride of Negroid, Your weather is second to none
Agility of your offsprings, incomparable


Pity! your children 're vision-less
Shame! They don't know their potentials
They rely much on westerns
Food, clothes,machines and lives even
Shame! Shame!! Shame!!


Your family is in fragments
Brothers killing and rendering brothers homeless
Hopes 're shattered!
No thanks to religion beliefs
No thanks to you for marrying three wives and many concubines


Why were the cost of your maintenance so high?
Why were your sons managing your affairs so centered?
On your wealth they sits
Cares only for their mouths and fingers
Using younger ones as thugs


Will it ever end?
Children of one of your wife wants to leave
To build a new house and start a new home
To adopt new surname!
They feels neglected and marginalized


Why were thousands of your own children always sad?
happy only when bad news comesforth from you!
Why d' they love only brothers and sisters of their own mother?
They ve turned your house into fighting arena
Yet, You kept mute!


For how long? Would it ever end?
When would we have PEACE as common lingua?
Please trade our sorrow for joy, strife for smile!
Have our shattered hope restored
Give us reason to live, to be proud and to believe oh! NIGERIA

I just got reminded of Josesh Diescho, a Namibian author and political analyst. He cried plenty about Africa's infelicity as many of us do.

I'm here

I'm not a poetry person but I can tell a masterpiece when I see one. This is really beautiful op, I love the use of metaphors and the images they conjure.

Well done!
