Abandoned I am in pains
Believe me, my eyes rains
Caught in the web,
Depressed by the tyranny of life
Enticed by the choices mocking at me
Fortunately I am alone in this
Golden medal awaits me
Hope a shield to my soul
I am on a crossed road
Jumping and sitting in thoughts
Knowledge is vanity without wisdom
Lead me Lord out of temptation!
Money is mocking at me
No one to help me cross the other side
Only my fate is staring at me
Please, how do I cross this road?
Questions quagmirely asked,
Retribution cautions my choices
Should I journey the road of mammon?
Trading my soul for fame and wealth
Under pleasure will I weep in pressure
Vanity upon vanity,
Will my heart find peace in these?
X-raying the fate of my soul
Yearning for His saving grace
Zealously seeking His divine direction.
On A Crossed Road
Jude Chukwuemeka Muoneke
Poet's note: This poem is dedicated to all humanity. It explores and satires the fate of the young generation, who find themselves on a crossed road. Life indeed is not rosy. Its full of thorns and rocky path. Some are daily tempted by evil choices mocking at them. Greed is ruling the world. Family and friends no longer help one another. One is tempted to trade off his soul for money and reap the fruits of his fate.
Only those who are heavenly minded overcomes the world.
