Even Strong Men Struggle Poem by John Chizoba Vincent

Do not wear a weary face of lost,
Fight the good fight and continue fighting,
Beat around your failures and disappointment;
Don't beat down your soul in a hurry,
Even strong men struggle in defend of their identities.



We inherited imperfection from the top of the
family tree; the tree planted by Adam and Eve.
That country is without light and hope,
Put on the light in your life first before others.
Everyone has his mountains to climb in life;
Different pace, different climbing styles and methods.






Don't be little yourself, low self esteem kills faster than death.
We are humans and not perfect humans,
We are fallible, mortal and flawed in nature.
Don't put on a frown face and lose out in life,
Every man has a price to pay in life and
Life you know, can't be cheated like men cheat wives; even strong men still struggle to climb farther.




People treat you like you treat youself,
Nature gives to you what you have sown;
No shortcut to life, there is no extra time.
Different time for different faces, no extra time given.
Spoil yourself in the appropriate ways so
That you know you are a king and others will too;
Don't look down on yourself, great men still struggle
Not only you; you could be yourself.




Too many men are hidding behind serving others
To avoid having to serve themselves in life.
Be king inside the kid in you, there is no extra time.




Let the harmattan of my pen shrinks your wet lips,
Let it paints your creamy skin as white as the snow,
Don't judge yourself to a forsaken crab on ground;
Even the strong men you look up to struggle, the rich also cry, but not as you cry but they still cry.
The tougher the journey, the tougher we become;
You are not the only one in the game, we are together.
