LIFE: THROUGH MY EYES
Forget, better still ignore
what the great philosophers had said
life is but a point of view
only I and I alone can shed
meaning from my experiences
unique, individual, lonely and tumultuous
life is in the singular and the roads
I have travelled are unknown to the multitudinous
no outsider heard me cry nor witnessed my tears
like a caged animal how often I had been trapped with my hands tied
also imminently close to drowning and I struggled against the tide
my freedom to regain---every means I courageously tried
and promised myself with the words
' I was not born to yield
( proud philosophy is no comfort nor succour)
I was victorious as I fought without fear in life's battle-field'.
