Optimist? Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

Pessimistic optimist

It's possible to be gloomy
Always carrying the world
Missing blessings around you
The joy of waking up to a smiling sun
When the sun goes the moon taking over
Accompanied by lively stars starring
the universe
With God you just want to converse
His love and grace perverse

Granted life is difficult
New diseases new outbreaks going global
What good is adding gloom to a bad situation
I see people losing their lives and savings
But through the bad news and pessimism
I want to still have hope be a pessimistic optimist
And not let my life-force vanish in the mist
And remain pessimistically optimistic

I am not a pessimist
I am a realist
Pessimism abounds
Gloom all around
But i remain pessimistically optimistic
A pessimistic optimist
