My Flaws, My Remedy Poem by Adebayo Smartfingers

There are so many things I should have done
I ought to make hays while the sun shines
Alas, I made mine when the sun is long gone
Here I am walking down memory lane million times
Rather than give-in to self-pity, am desperately searching for a new dawn
Though tears fill my eyes, my face still radiate smiles
Oh! Poor me, many foes lurking around in search of my woe
But, as hard as it is to make a cow lay egg, so it is to pull me down
How I’d wish the talents in me could glow and show
Because, methinks without it, I can never wear the crown
To be king among men and an initiator of change
I flee from you oh perversion; I flee from you figures in gown
Lest I become incapacitated like a tiger in a cage
Call it love or infatuation; it is full of gimmicks like the work of a clown.
