Sober Reflection Poem by Darlington Chukwunyere

Like yesterday, it’s a big mirror,
to our tomorrow’s heroes.
It’s like a widow’s pillow
who’s her sole companion
and to her lonely heart, a champion
with whom she shares her burden in tears.

It’s all about having a flashback;
making up for what is lost in the past,
retracing your foot on the right track
which leads you to a righteous path.

It makes you the best of your kind.
It shows you all in you that it finds,
leaving behind, not the least of your flaws.
It arms you against tomorrow’s wars.

Why don’t you give it a try?
At least to recoup the ceaseless cry
which makes your pitiable plight
climb to its height.

Just take a bold step of perfection.
It’s nothing but a sober reflection...cheers
