Way To Happiness Poem by Onuora ilodibe

The way to happiness
I studied that book
As a catechumen
But happiness still a damn spook
Sometimes I feel like jumping off the roof
Temptation crawls like a beast in the grove
Caught up in bohemians groove
Exploring a lone fault line
Cutting deep through stream channels
Skywards the sun spot above my balding skull
I smell a dead fresh hunch when trouble calls
I Walked off the thoroughfare pleased as punch
Discretion a vital tool in my spares and bunch
A bloke once said the best way to win a fight
Gather your rosebuds and walk away
To keep the happy golden mean
