The Pang Of Illness Poem by HAKAM ABUBAKAR

once again I'm shackled
by the pain of a cruel illness
since I've turned indisposed
I've been struck with fatigue
while the task of days
the duties of tomorrow and today
refuse to render to me the chance
that i may have the happenstance
for my Deity to beef me up
within my being i feel a stab
by a sickness which knows no
clemency
my case is something I've still not
fathom
till the cow comes home
my heart again and again
is bearing the pang of pain
the doctor never comprehended my misgiving
yet a remedy to me he intended giving
I'm imprisoned by this hospital stay
yet my pain refuses to ameliorate even for a day
listen, loved ones who care
stand not beside my bed and stare
at how i struggle to breath some air
for I've learnt hard to bear
nature decided to beef me up
that I'll always stand strongly up
to its strange examinations
God of all that exist
free me from the shackles of depression
for when cases worsen
unto you all look on
grant that i leave this healing edifice
singing your praise replete with raptures
mercy be on me and all who showed concern.
