Hello beautiful people!
You are welcome to Day 1 of #SteemitSchool 100 days Poetry challenge by @d-pend. This is to be written in our mother tongue, and its really going to be challenging for me because its not easy to write in one's language. Most of my friends I told about this challenge had to back off.
Today been the Day1 of the #Steemitschool Poetry challenge contest, I shall be writing on Slavery. My language is the first word there on italic style. I do hope you find this challenging and give me your support with an up vote and nice comment (winks).

Evie jiakporna Slavery still exists,
Ojiyanyevri It hasn't gone extinct,
Awenv evie We are still slaves,
Okei osu Just a change of master.
Awenvneje huron No one is independent,
Awenveware hiovakpor We are all dependent,
Awevngbefia koma'wevn Let's not lie to ourselves,
Awevn fiovmawevn Let's not fool one another.
iohwo dekoronoyovwin Some people thinks it is better,
niwovronvie kiyovniwhevn To be enslaved by your brother,
e'kwve rowotafe, dhe' Than an outsider, why.
beti niroro norgbe yovwin But I think none is better.
kuwomohu ki govement i fokofu akpowhve You blame the government for your problems,
kiwororo nu wohovron, And then claim you are independent,
whvo shifoma kaye You sell them your right,
roro naika lere erho'wovn yovnwhivn Hoping they will make things right.

"You sell your rights, hoping they will make things right."...
Yet they never make anything right, rather they make life harder.
Food for thought.

Hey @diamondrich, I have to say thank you for taking the challenge! Great first entry. Please don't forget to put the Day # in your title. Also include the sources of your images.
I'm so glad you are trying to write in your mother tongue even though it is challenging! What is this language called? Also you shared deep views in this poem with regards slavery and freedom. Of course, most people are slaves to their own ignorance.
Placed you in the Beginner category :-) All the best!
