Cursed ones
We are an image of a god that
has been smeared and battered with mud
We are the fallen,
Descended from grace
to be kept in a place of turmoil
anyị ahọrọghị ụzọ a,
akara aka dugara anyị
The gods played a prank on us,
They gave us a beautiful lie called Life
Our lives are a puzzle
We try to unravel each day
anyị ahọrọghị ụzọ a,
akara aka dugara anyị
We are jinxed!
Read the rest of the poem Show less
The rays of hope is dimmed
With our sufferings,
We can only bask in agony each day
anyị ahọrọghị ụzọ a,
akara aka dugara anyị

on For the greater good from @Race_9togo
"I like the title, Your language use is good, although I think that you should edit for tense; past and present seem to get a little mixed up in places. I like the cadence, it flows well for the most part, only becoming…" -

on The thoughts of a troubled soul from @Eumolpus
"Since you do not specifically tell us what your problems are, they become generic, and universal, In that case, I would make the poem universal by putting it in third person, with a few edits: Can we run away from our p…" -

"This was like reading and once again being in a shoulda, woulda, coulda poster. I think we all have met this person at some point. My only thought here is that I felt the poem was not finished with the last line. I like…" -
