ENTANGLING ALBATROSS (HAIKU)

In this driver’s seat,

I see the forward and lose

The backward, sadly.

II

If only eyes see

Far to the end, I’d feel free

But no, they do not

III

Who made this lone path?

Who made this wild mystic path?

They say God, fact-less

IV

I see the wild thorns

Feel the taunting whipping breeze

I see pain’s red eyes

V

I see frustration

In tight pin jeans bleeding more

For lack of knowledge

VI

Which dilemma ruins

And steal the present’s happiness

Branding lives un-lived?

VII

Trees wave, some falling

Glaringly free and falling

Where all eyes would see

VIII

My speed, my calmness,

My mistakes, my hurts, my fears

Burn under this seat

IX

I’m going, I am

I’m going to the unknown

By myself with none

X

All companies ride

On roads same as mine

Clueless and so lost

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. :)
