OF REBIRTH IN WOES (a poem by Onwana Chibueze Declan)

Read Time:57 Second
Arise!
 From life
 To life
 Tempering the rage of your bleeding sub-conscious
 When polar opposites of soul and sin
 Unite in wanton misery
 Look then, to see when golden rays beseech groans
 In yawns.
 When body rises to greet half-dead,
 It's house of will and intellect.
 The curse of woe penetrates to dusk,
 It's perennial grief and silence thus:
 To drink your sweat when work's undone
 For months of sweat brags not a cup
The days of silence is a hunt
 and predator of skillful deeds vapourised into the ink
 Of printed accolades
 Which feed but a bowl to conscience of pondering negativity
What makes a man in disaster?
His lording desire over aching tears, the pillars upon which
 Vision lies in dimming skies
 Rising once more,
 I adjust the tunes of discord; daily hobby:
 Disastrous life in lockdown spent
 A revived will, forsaken dreams, repents!
