Poetry: A Chained Mind, is a Chained Hand

in poetry •  7 years ago  (edited)


The hands is too short when the mind is chained.

If I could,

I would change the world with my touch,
clean all tears with my hands,
comfort all who mourn, with my voice
Lend a hand to the weak.

IF I COULD,

I would make everyone smile,
Teach everyone to love,
Show you what a human you are,
Teach you the ways of the happy people.

IF I COULD,

I will chain the devil so he won't mislead the earth anymore,
Destroy all ungodly things,
Create more godliness than the spoilage,
Teach the whole what that he is Jehovah.

IF I COULD,

I would have stop all terrorism,
Stop the twin towers of 9/11,
Stop the plane hijacking,
Stop the kidnap of chibok girls.

IF I COULD

I would stop the Hiroshima earthquake,
Stop the Haiti disaster,
Stopped Titanic's ship wreck,
Stop all natural disaster.

IF I COULD

I will make everyone eat with joy,
I would take away all hunger,
No kid in Africa will be starved,
I would take away femine in the land,
No malnutrition,
In the mountains grains grow,even on rocks

IF I COULD

I will change death to life,
Cure all sick people,
Stop all dying people,
Bring back all dead ones,
Turn all medicines to food and recipes

AND IF I COULD. .....Ah

There are many wrongs to rewrite,
Many deeds to revisit,
Many wonderful moments to share again,
Many sweet friends I want to be with,
Many stories I'd love to tell,
So many things i wish for

But Alias

These things I can't,
Humbled by the things greater than I am,
I move into everyday with hope of doing my bid, knowing that the breakers could fail at anytime.

life has never been so scary, yet so fun,
Never had we seen a time so near its end,yet seem far.
Things seem so right, yet everyone is in disarray.
People with happy faces, yet so sad.
Conditions seems to be worsening, still seemingly normal.
Heaven invogue, yet people running from its gate(death)

So as wish I could, I started revisiting the things i can't do, the things I can, I started seeing beyond the wall, I started seeing so much happinesses in my little givings, the life it brought to those who could receive, the happiness I can cause when through a chain I reach everyone, though not reaching them, but reaching them virtually, I saw the need to be more human.

Then I saw ithat I am the self limiting factor, then I thought for a second "what if I remove the if".

It would be a whole new paradigm.

I saw I could do, as much as I could, more good in me, t all men, as much as I aspire.

So If I could, I could.....

Yours Truly loved,

There is so much we wish we could do to make better our community, but attimes, there's only a little we can really do. We become heroes of such acts if we do not give up trying. The little we can do however goes a long way in impacting someone's life.

If I could, I would make sure no one is every hungry again. If only I could...
