Duress Poem by Alison Mujati

duress

born to be free spirited
bound by nature,
doomed to death.

smiling faces
all shed tears
who chances escape.

within a smiling face
a pang of pain, stress creases faces
feigning joy,
a ghost town blazes inside.

the feeble quickly tire
the strong have endurance
practices never live forever
time kills endeavour.

champions don't last forever
champions bite the dust someday
they submit or tap out one day
seems news but one law has a say.

evil mostly perpetuate over goodness
darkness strolls over honesty
our world sings and applause
justice will be served in the end...

lose not your heart while suffering
save wings for this sacrificing
inescapable change will come
if not here, heaven awaits.
