IN THEIR EYES

SCARY BIRD

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the mirrored eyes of the world

I see myself as the vulture parasite

Spewing fire

Wanting to kill and devour

The movie of me in their eyes

Scares me

So I made to get a mirror of myself

 

Struggling and struggling

I get the mirror

And stands in front

Surprisingly, I am just a little frail bird

Saying what is

But the what is seems to be

The mask of doom which many dread

So they make a movie to fit me

And make sure I see it in their eyes

 

Mouth of brimstone and fire

Spewing to polish

Spewing to de-pollute

Spewing to clear

I am not ashamed of that monster in me

So let the movies circulate

I am and will still be me

The me who scares to fix

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)

I see a similar event unfolding in Hong Kong. I hope that they are not mistreated. You have written a wonderfully powerful piece, Cecilia!

Ohh I really like this Poem. I think it is my favorite. Freedom of speech and peacefull protest and peacefull demonstrations are not a threat to a free democratic society. It should be a welcome excercise of democratic process to hear the will of it’s citizen, that they want reflected in it’s governments actions.
