Absurdity Poem by Atsu Adaletey

ABSURDITY
When everything around me throws me into the pool of insanity
It reminds me of the nature of humanity
A justification of reality
When trapped in poverty
I thrive to survive in this life of uncertainty

While some sell their virginity to survive
I sell my talent to survive
While some reincarnate pharaonic slavery just to survive
I trust in the living God to survive

To attain a mere degree, they compromise the code of morality
But I believe in the trinity; Transparency, Dignity And Loyalty

They applaud me when I fulfill their request
But mock and bite me at the back when I thrive to be my best
They push me away when I'm in debt
But pull me when I'm the greatest

So, what then is the meaning of life?
Why do we foolishly thrive to please people?

Why can't you be you as YOU?
Why can't you be real?
Why do you suffocate your identity just to keep up an appearance?

This is absurdity
An insanity
That which reflects the nature of humanity
A reality
Nobody seem to understand me cos they are not me
But I love me cos I am ME.
