By Any Means Poem by Obinna Nwerem

By any means necessary

I shall strike down the evil

That surrounds me daily

Trap me in the depths of madness

An old soul with a young mind



Cast me with violence of peers

Let close ones swear against me

And paint vivid images of me

Tie my hands and push me down

Think me dead as you sleep away



By any means necessary I shall

With my inner most strength

Strike down who stands against me

Oh my God who shall save me

Pull me out of this bloody wave



My words music to a deaf ear

In my youth my grave I paved

My enemies now walk in sight

In a dark corner, silence surrounds

A thousand flowers to my foes

Let them all fade by all thy means!
