Jewel Poem by Iphupho The Dream

JEWEL

Regarded as one tough soldier of all times
Like any other soul
This whole terrene halt to know he have a skin
Blood and veins of a man
Do they know beneath the armour of this stone
Lies a shattered soul
On his mind lies voices of unknown reciters..

Like a crocodile
Skin so tough and rough
But inside it - lies a soft hearted warrior
Because it's known as a vulture beneath the river
Its regarded as a assassin to other raptures of the sea...

Mind you
A lion is known as a killer
A vulture and a hero of all wild family
Not knowing that each strain it takes to put food on the table
Is as much harder as that of a human being who goes to the end of the world fulfilling the desires of his armour...

Jewel
As strong as it may seem on the outside
Like a living soul
We carry our scars on our shoulders
Walk and talk like all is well with us
Knowing each night we lie on our beds cursed with maroon roses yet! It essence yet! so unlikely..
We lose everything and cry our souls out....
