Far Beyond Poem by Emeka Joseph Nnakwe

The wounds
The pains
The scars
Far beyond the cold nights
Tortures from the me of yesterday's
IBANUJE that accompanies the pains
Scars that for every seconds remind me the agonies
Cummulates the score-sheet you mark!

Many times troubles intrude the me you don't know
Many times I stand only to fall
Falling and limping
I run the race of destiny
Far beyond the smiles
Lies the agonies from tortures
Tortures from the tests you are ignorant of
Ere before you mark the scripts
Ask my night class teacher!
