Is My Life In Jeopardy? Poem by Yussuf Muktar

I blindly celebrate in a gloomy mood
As my right hand is chopped ruthlessly off
By the very left hand that stood nearer
In spoiling the good they could scoop
Together as lovely twin brothers
conjoined in the same body of life

No concord, my legs declared
Helplessly as my eyes watched
The right leg stood in defiance
Against the left to run for safety
The body lost its fair balance
And then fell like a crumbling block

My eyes are blurred and bleak
Obscured from auras of hope
My heart is beating, crying aloud
For more blood to pump across
Stingy organs through blocked veins
Of misery and sheer enmity

When others slice bread to breed
I sniff bad blood to bleed
Little chance of time remains
Weighing my commitment to repent
Before I am declared forgotten
Disabled I am; is my life in jeopardy?
