I Am A Survivor Poem by Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu

I am a Survivor

The world against me
Even though God is deaf to me or even asleep
And in the dust of no sun ray, I fell on broken kneels
With my weak muscles
And staggering body
I will move on,
Though principalities and powers sit round the table just for me
And lay me on the cold floor unattended to
Let them grow fat over me
The world is their own
But only for today
Tomorrow, they are gone and it may be mine because i will survive
Life is reveal in the face of death
No matter how many against I, with a crossed heart,
And drive their wheels
And sit on their tables to gloat over me
On the chairs to watch me crumble and fall
In all, I know I am a Survivor.

-Okoemu, the Scribe.
