Your Highness! ! ! Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

Your Highness
I am rolling out of my shyness
And my mood revealing dryness
It is obvious; my carelessness
I seek your graceful forgiveness
Humans are wicked and smirk of mercilessness
You are the Lord of generous fairness
It is a world of cruel tightness
Short of proper brightness
Progressing demands critical forcefulness
Wisdom is beyond simple thoughtfulness
Many engage in vicious aggressiveness
Their acts led to sinfulness
Lustful parables of viciousness
Myself, may not be in total cleanliness
Despite all attempts at Godliness
Signs that life is like rock in hardness
Your Highness
I seek your mercy for its lightness
Praying for more of your kindness
The least you can do, for your graciousness
I wish to be a person of thoroughness
Dealing with life with top tactfulness
I am doing this in sincere prayerfulness
Answer my prayer; Your Highness! ! !
