POETRY OF CONSCIOUSNESS: "GAPS TO FILL" BY AJAKAYE STRIDA
It is with the family of challenge and determination.
Where is love?
It is with the mark of forgiveness and several disappointments.
Where is happiness?
It is struggling between goals and fulfillment.
Where is truth?
It is under the mystery of rainfall and sunshine meeting each other.
Where is contentment?
It is with the insatiable hunger of ceaseless dawns.
Where is legacy?
It is with the wildly racing reaction of painful prosperity.
Where is leadership?
It is in the fidgety hands of narcissistic godfatherism.
Your dream is as strange as skin amongst skeletons,
still, ride on.
