I have what it takes
With the knowledge I have
I have what it takes
With the wisdom I have
But I'm afraid
That is all there is
I have what it takes
Like a loaded gun
On a toddler's hand
But that is all there is
I have what it takes
Like a chased chicken
With widened wings
But that is all there is
I have what it takes
Like the wild-tamed lions
Dangerous but harmless
But that is all there is
We have what it takes
It is called potential
But I'm afraid
That is all there is
i've read the Poet's Notes and understand it but the English is not 'perfect'. HOWEVER, you have great potential. Besides, i do not speak any of these official languages of South Africa! Afrikaans, English, Ndebele, Northern Sotho, Sotho, SiSwati, Tsonga, Tswana, Venda, Xhosa and Zulu. OK, I AM INCORRECT; i DO speak a bit of English. :) (cont.)
Ngi ya Bonga Mr Bri for your constructive criticism. I hope it will help me grow and to widened my wing even wider. I hope that you will also take you time to read some of my poems.... especially: Write something right

(cont.) the English is better in the poem, compared to in the Poet's Notes. in fact the English is very good in the poem, as is the 'storytelling'. congratulations on your first written poem. welcome to PH. on this poem page, the whole poem is NOT in the shaded area above the poem! hmm? did PH mess up again? to MyPoemList.
