Motivation Thursday.
Another day to be here with my poetic words. The inspiration for writing these ones I am sharing today hits differently. I had no idea what topic to write on with the poems and I just grabbed my phone, clicked on the notes and the first line of each poem came to me and I didn't stop. I just kept on writing and developed both poems in matter of minutes. I love when giving meaning to words and I enjoyed putting these ones down. Enjoy them and let me know what you think. I always appreciate your comments and I look forward to more.
Strive To Be Better.
There would always be thorns along your path
It's not a curse, it's not about IF but WHEN, do your part
Life would always throw things at you but how you respond is your choice
It's easier to give the best of advice when you haven't faced life
It's easier to say you'd be the best husband to your wife
It's not so much about the words but about the actions
You see life differently with life's experiences and daily interaction
Saying it is easy but walking what you said is the real work
Especially with so many people around the corner ready to mock
Regardless of what life throws at us, the alternative isn't palatable
We have to strive to keep living and make the most of things
Pity is never the option because on that ground nothing meaning grows
I don't also appreciate those who say, "Let's go with the flows"
Life is about intentionality and it takes a determined mind to thrive
Everything would want to drag you down sometimes
You have to be the one to pull yourself up most times
Nothing is handed to you on a free without you still making the effort
Let them even get you a job, you still have to be the one to work it
A lot of people focus too much on what they can get from life
While ignoring the efforts they need to make it happen or at least sustain it
Strive to be better because no one will do it for you, but you
Where Is The Love?
A lot of people keep searching for the answer
No one seem to know and it slips away like a dancer
There is no solution in sight and it spreads like cancer
Most people want to play, no one wants commitment, it's like fanfare
Most people settle for convenience rather than love
They go for the easier option because they want to be defined
We live in a society that thrives on title
They look down on you when you are single or unmarried
Everyone puts themselves under pressure for no reason
Well, they don't want to be judged by society's judgemental gaze
They seem to search frantically so they can find their heart a space
It doesn't matter whether love is there or not, they just want a place
Where is the love that everyone seem to be out of touch with it?
Are humans not naturally born with so much love in their heart?
Why is it that we have deception everywhere on earth?
Everyone is in it half heartedly and out for easy options
Their hearts seem to be on sale, ready for the auction
We try so much to convince ourselves with all words concoction
But the heart knows when it loves or not, it's a normal deduction
Where is the love nowadays? Everyone's heart seem cold
Love seem hard to come by these days because I noticed a lot of people just want the pleasure and run away from commitments. It's the same with life generally as we have forgotten how to be kind to one another because we are always chasing how to be better than our next door neighbour. Some people see life as a competition where they just want to stay ahead not for themselves but to just show they are doing better than others. It fuels their ego and people like that hardly think of helping because they don't want anyone coming close to what they have achieved. We need to always remember we are first humans before anything else and we don't need to kick our humanity to the curb. One of my favourite words would always be: "Stop feeling proud because you have bread to eat. Remember, someone owns that bakery."
Where is the love? Where is the humanity? Where is the commitment? Where is the whole essence of life which is to help one another?
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks. I am love's chemical content in human form and that's why I advise people to take a dose of "Olawalium" daily. 🙈
