Arise and awake - Day 73 of the SSPC by Daniel

in poem •  7 years ago  (edited)

Arise and awake

Stagnancy of the mind
burdened by jealousy
seeking newer gossips
to feed the evil heart

Speaking hours on end
those who listen to it, pretend
skin deep camaraderie
a society of hypocrites

Life is not appreciated
days pass by and time is gone
wisdom seldom arises
and the soul departs

Alas, human soul
awaken before it is too late
life has deeper meaning and purpose
than just the news at stake

entry for Announcing the Steemit School Poetry 100 Day Challenge! (Total Prize Fund 2000 SBD)

I write poems to express myself. I started writing at the age of twelve or so and some of my poems were published in magazines for children, a time when print still ruled the world. The internet and the blogging world has helped me write poems. Most of it was as I wrote earlier, to express myself and my thoughts. I have also been a ghostwriter.

Steemit has helped me write with freedom and also earned me very good friends who encourage me to write. I hope my readers will support me and also join in this contest. I am not a student of literature and so I do not consider myself an expert in poetry. It is the judge who will decide.

Flawless writing!

thanks dear. Only you take the time to appreciate my writing each time

Yes your words ring true, so many get caught up the superficial side of life and never make time for that which matters the most, our connection to the earth and to one another. well done @sayee thank you for speaking your truth x
