The Emotive Self Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

emotions simmers in my heart
stirred by the days ahead
unparalleled in history
as the nation stands
to cast their vote
in dead silence

mixed emotions pokes my soul
apprehensive of the times ahead
dark clouds that promises rain
or maybe the storm of a century
sending my emotions into turmoil
one second brings anxiety and fear
yet another dishes excitement and arousal
the pot of my emotions is about to explode
as I kneel down and pray to God
to calm my nerves
and promise me a better tomorrow

my heart pounds in fear
most probably exaggerated
in my delusional state
as I imagine the worst
the loss of hope
but I refuse to give up
I refuse to accept anything other than a bright tomorrow
a tomorrow flowing with milk and honey
a tomorrow full of prosperity and love
a better tomorrow
