A Twisted Saga Poem by HAKAM ABUBAKAR

In the annals of a saga
Are chronicled dreams that
do not shatter
When a truth is mused over
There comes an account to
render


Sometimes man is deterred
by the stultifying obstructions
That cast a pall over ambitions
Then when the pang of disappointment
strikes emotions
The fickle soul is drawn into palpitations.

In such a quandary
The heart tangles with the world
So in order to discover
the niche of its worry
Yet there is life and there is faith.

This gloom cannot be with us
forever
Enough for us the savor
of bitterness and guilt
There is dualism in every situation
But our option is that we discover
comfort.

It is such a twisted saga
But having a gist of our locus
And a mental pinch
We may locate the niche of
our tangle
And blossom into glory.
