If I Knew What I Know Now Poem by Tendekai Mugonda

Dreams are meant to be dreamt by those favoured by,
opportunity.
Destiny and fate choose everyone but success shun,
some.
Being free leading to death is not freedom but error,
which needs scrutiny.
Life on an edge reaching out a leg instead of,
an arm.
The world can sometimes choose to be,
cruel to the wise.
Every turn made by the wise can be deemed,
heresy to the norms.
The truth of this earth is nothing but a,
disguise.
Those who preach its gospel are feeding the caged,
birds these fault worms.

Faith can be a fuel to embrace true hope.
One chose to be a child in order to learn more.
Selling hope is a misguided motive.
Yet what is true nowadays is based on feelings,
and emotions experienced before.
Quickly to shun away the invisible reality and,
ignoring its existence.
Knowledge is power to those who understand,
the essence of true wisdom.
Doors of opportunity open to patience and persistence.
Men's truth is a fallacy like royalty without a kingdom.
