mercy jacobs Poems

AM I LOOSING HOPE.
I USED TO LOOK AT PEOPLE, LOOK AT THERE FACES AND SEE HOPE PRINTED AND PAINTED ALL OVER. I USED TO WALK DOWN THE FREEWAY AND SEE PEOPLE PLAYING, HOLDIND HANDS, AND SMILING AT EACH OTHER, BUT NOW WHAT DO I SEE.
I SEE FACES THAT ARE TIRED FROM MISERY, FACES THAT ARE BEGGING FOR DEATH TO TAKE THEM, FACES THAT KEEP ASKING WHY?
I USED TO TELL MY FRIENDS TAHT HAPPINESS COMES AS A PACKEAGE, INSIDE OUT, TWISTED AND PACKAGED, BUT TO MYSELF A SAY, AM A BELIEVER THAT THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNEL.
...

The uniqueness of man makes him strong,
it makes him face life squarely, bravely pressing on to victories.

The instinctive nature of man, makes him stand and face obstacles...
...

I used to get so scared,
I used to run off so far off from you...

Just because i couldnt withstand your touch, your kiss.
...

lonliness knows all i keep inside
lonliness saps me of my needed joy
and leaves me with this words (am lonely)
...

while i was sitting on my pouch
i asked my self
who is my friend
it downed on me like this
...

peace
what have you done to humanity
peace you make men lust for you.
