The Dream In Adversity

The Dream In Adversity

A Poem by Benedict Mdluli

I lack not the thirst for success.
I'm on a quest for its quench,
but life is unpredictable, you wish
& wish all your life only to miss.

 

I have lived to be rich & have status,

but life is not bigger than papers.

All we need is prayers. And death

tamed all of us.

 

Oh! I want a great life, filled with
Love with the exception of lies.
I pray thee Oh! Lord I know not of

your plans but that they're for my

prosperity , keep my heart heed &

my spirit of generosity.

 

I willingly wake up to work hard

towards the mark. I want to stand

out , is that too much to ask?
Death I know you're in inevitable

even the greatest have bowed down

to you, but today I press pause I still

have a future to catch, I dare you wait,

I say wait.

 

Allow me to shine like the stars in the

dark at night, at the end of it all I don't

want questions did I ever laugh enough,

love & smile like a mother, for fatherhood

is a hearsay, and life an essay.
