Ocean Riches

Ocean Riches

A Poem by Kay Salisu Titilola

Down in the deep
in the ocean bed,
lies the riches
and the ocean wealth.
Seems we need it
but we couldn't help.
Sitting n thinking
that all will be well.

Fear of sinking,
and the fear of death,
fear of the breath
that we couldn't held,
make us indeed
men of nothingness,
For here we're sitting,
Not even take a step.

Life is the ocean,
Success it's riches,
people suffer much
'cause we hate challenges.
We want all pleasure,
we hate all pain,
if we can't endure,
then we can't win the race.

Fine words laid gently and with some grand metre, thoughts growing from start to finish. From any viewing point -whether below in the depths or high, high on a mountain top, life can look dangerous or at best, dubious. But maybe, (still working it out!) it's better to dare and suffer a few scars than sit in a corner or with face to the wall and waste what was painfully but generously given. To each his or her own, whether honestly, hypocritically, selfishly or lovingly.. .. Will come back to read more of you.. thank you.

You're welcome. Thumb up to you too. :)
Yes, I think it's important to play the long game when it comes to life. The prize comes at the end and the reward grows sweeter over time.
