Gain Poem by Olorode Olorunleke

At the dawn of each day
My heart puzzles on what life tends to pay
So tensed
I am

With no help that I tend to blend
Having no choice for fear of blame
Who then can my plight be shared to
For all are lizards that none knows one with an ache

Gone are the days where a problem shared is solved
May those days have eternal rest
In Lamentations I am
Yet in praise for having to breathe

This world

Oh this world - Filled with venoms
Even worse than that that exit us from Eden
Greed, the father of all
Like envy, lust, hate, revenge and ego

So powerful that none that trades in it has no where to go
The journey of love has no life today
Without elements of pretence and falsehood

A life I hope to live
The barricade to hook up in our Hood
I see her, dream of her
But the fear of hurt and death pulls me down

Like a sheep with no shepherd
My race is done
Terrestrial forces in mark of hate
A contributory factor for me to fall
A life of purity I've prayed to live

But can't imagine how mysterious it's to so do
It amazes me how we make maw out of mountain
The results of which none can maintain
Of what good is wickedness
When we all 'veknown to end in the mansion below?
Vanity I say is our world.
