No Way Back, No Way Foward Poem by MTHOKOZISI NTOKOZO MAPHUMULO

No more moving forward and no more coming back

There was a friend of mine
He likes very much to stay at bright ideas
He attended the high quality University of Choice
Whatever he does what done in a much extra effort
So much people loved his ideas
During his primary school education he enjoyed mathematics
He won a scholarship trip
Since then people respected him
However there were those who respected him with anger hatred and fear
Still today they don’t like him

He was very clever student such that even her teachers were starting to hate him for that
Sometimes teachers were very prone to deny him the right to access use books in the library.
He wished to change the school but that was impossible – he come out of poor family and money was tight
He kept on waiting
In year 2005 he finished his metric

He spend one full year without attending any university study
Currently he is a student at University of Natal
Man of miracles –has been failing since 2006 because of brain draining effect
But however the true gold does not lose it color when it passes through the hot water
I can tell you something
He has started to flourish once again
The students have started to hate him even more before
Now these are no same high school kids but they are the University of KwaZulu-Natal students
So the man of miracles has already created enemies at high school
During holiday times those friends just like him but they are still reserving big grudge for him
They hate him and they are most commonly motivated by their parents to do so
At the University the students do also hate him
So there is no more way forward and no more way of coming back
Ladies and gentlemen that giant is Me, Myself and I

Could I take another option to move forward?
Rolling stone gathers no moss
But it sems like there is something more extraordinary and never unseen that will happen with this giant
The separation and remarkable historical content
They say self praise is of no recommendation
But I can say that feel something coming in my own direction.
