Struggle Continues

THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES

 

It seems virtually impossible

But it's all virtually logical

My emotions made me prevail and my pride,

caused me to strive

 

My heart, pure as the blood that flows through it

My mind complex, like the configuration of nature

I see no fear,

But that of death

 

My struggle is a mental block

that no teacher, professor

or any that dictates the textbook

can help or even interpret

 

the pain of the massive hardship

the astonishing fact of poverty

that affects my ethnical background

will not affect me

 

because the heavens created "I"

Not to be inferior

or to be superior

but to maintain my position

 

what I don't know is

my struggle,

my hardship,

my opposition

 

But in this lifetime,

your life depends on your decision.

DEPENDENT ON ONE'S SELF.

THIS EMOTIONAL STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE.

 

FOR SCRIPTURES HAVE IT THAT

THOSE WHO REALIZE THEIR ACTIONS

AND POSITIONS IN SOCIETY

WILL ONE DAY SUCCEED

 

AND

WITH HOPE

I

STRIVE.
