SHADOWS OF THE PAST : SILHOUETTES [ A POEM ]
At the palm of my foot, I looked
A colossal iniquity
I perused a keg
A collection of pain
A congregated sorrow
The taunting soul
The back breaker
I looked at time
Flashes played my intelligence
I watched with a distressed face
Panting in hopelessness
Grasping for breathe
An ancient curse
A sin of yesteryears
A lie told with force
That was the beginning of disaster
Many years ve counted
Its shadows re back
Chasing me like a bee
Making me a disaster
It has cramped my morale
It has brought me plagues
I am lost in the shadows of my past
Silhouettes ve caged my heart
But am relentless
Knowing that there is no future without the past
I will stand & let the future rule my past.
