Obstacles and Chains

Obstacles and Chains

A Poem by Siphelele
"

Its about a common man who lives in a common society with people he fully understood and had shared some of his quality times with. now he is in trouble of losing a job and a sister.

"

       Obstacles and chains

This darkness never ends

It keeps on prevailing

Reviving the colds from the West

And I have left my jersey home

And my home is far, very far.

I am talking about miles from here

Look at the sky

It was grey and fluffy

But now it’s dark and black

And the rain is coming through

Or I will wait here until it passes

But it hasn’t come to pass yet

It just lightening, lightening from far

Why not go and see

Obstacles and chains

 

Holding me back

But I need to decide

How far is my home?

Never mind the distance

But what if it’s heavy?

What am I going to do?

No one knows me here

I am just a stranger in this town

But I am innocent, caring and loving.

How can I make this people understands me

The world has gone crazy

And I need to live with it.

But here I am

Obstacles and chains

 Maybe I am thinking too much?

Maybe I am overreacting?

Maybe these people care?

Maybe they have sympathy?

Maybe I should give them a chance?

Just to prove me wrong

But I am scared

I don’t know them

And they don’t know me too

All I know is

They are human like me

But humans have lost their humanity

What must I do?

Must I go them and ask for help?

Must I wait for the rain to come through?

But what if it’s heavy as I see it?

Once shy twice beaten.

Or must I go home

And God will take care of the rest

It’s hard to fail to cry

Obstacles and chains

Author's Note

Siphelele
People are good at you mostly in right times but with a wrong attitude that makes it hard to go to them and ask for help.
