Poet Amongst Poets Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

Is my poetry not worthy to be challenged
by anyone's might?
I am the conqueror of time
and inspiration be my light
I can walk through narrow pathways
and free myself from any obstacle
I live with faith
and every day I see a miracle

I look at Mt. Everest
and see everything has a limit
on the face of the earth
from the cradle I am born
with intelligence
and to fulfill my purpose of birth
the sunlight is my shield of support
and my mind will never fail
I can create my destiny
with the energy I inhale

The weapon of wisdom
is enshrined in the castle
of my heart
I can rule over knowledge
and take the world apart
life
gives me the opportunity
to dream
and to shape the future
like a cloudless sky
I venture into the silence
to nurture

to be a poet amongst poets
gives me the ability
to compose and write
in this fierce battle of the mind
I envision the true light
the mystery of this world
will forever remain unknown
when death accompanies me
to the grave
I will be on the throne.
