So Many things

So Many things

A Poem by Mpumelelo
"

It talks about sitautions that have impactee my life

"
Too Many things in my chest blocked off by black lungs
So Many things in my mind blocked off by black lies.
So many things in my life blocked of by No faith
So many words in my mouth but blocked off by No courage.

There so many things in my life causing confusion ,distress, Anger
And More Pain.
There are so many things in this life holding me back like a rubber band tightened around My waist.
So Many things.

So Many things that we don't speak about but we hear about through action and not words.
So many things that we ignore but come back to haunt us stronger than before
So Many things

I could sing this song of so many wrongs of this world but I'm not a singer, I am a speaker of Words.... I am a speaker of so many things... I am the speaker of the house, I am Baleka Mbethe..
So Many things

I could rhyme in a rhythm of elements exposing So Many things wrong with this world ... So many things wrong with your words. Too many things wrong with my Word.
So Many things

I have dreamt of so many things for the world...
Seeing the world prosper by doing things proper and unleashing the
Beauty to the people and letting it run free like a Dog released from its leash
So many things we could do for this world.
So Many things

This is an overly bleak message. I feel you did a very creative job of conveying the bleak black outlook of a person seemingly mired in a downward fall. Your word crafting is well done, but I’m not a fan of repetition, & it seems to me that repeating “so many things” as much as you do here, this becomes the overriding take-away for the reader. It’s as if everything is the fault of some other things, outside ourselves. It’s as if all these troubles cannot be addressed, just blame can be expressed in this message. Quite honestly, this is an unattractive message, even tho I know it’s the truth for many people. Writing the truth is always a good thing. But it’s just hard to take so much blame & so little accountability. We each must choose how to perceive & approach our lives. It’s possible to make something beautiful out of a bad situation, if a person decides to take his/her life by the horns & lead it where he/she wants to go in life. Lots of people do that & I would hope that those with a bleak black outlook could someday find the way out of such a vicious cycle of blame & hopelessness (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Feels like there's still so many things you could have added... but all in all it is a beautiful piece

Black and white.
The black is there for all to see, magnified a hundred times over.
The white is all that's good in the world but rarely mentioned.
