KOTH BIRO

​Miracles, growth and death both happen at night, while ego and people are one and happen when sudden wealth is served in a glass to them while they are referred by their favourite names so cut your nails while they are still short, there is no need of repainting broken doors, 

I realized old dogs still chase their tails and some marriages are just but single numb beings sleeping together with rings on their fingers but mentally, emotionally and physically detached from the reality of their pasts, here lessons are failed contraceptive pills, we learn but still end up pregnant with the same mistakes,

We are rivers that run uphill and mountains of sorrow, we are too concerned with people’s lives that we forget we are also living, we are gullibly swept away from the reality of life, we are fed up but end up being fed with the same propaganda which we litter until we slip and break our backs from the magandas,  

We are afraid of losing people that’s why we tolerate holding pieces of glass for so long than letting them go, we love the smell of blood, rain and how we sound when we are crying, complaining and moaning when we have submitted to the life we said we’d morph out off, decisions and choices that would better us become hard on our palms leaving us blistered and worn, so what is love? 

Do you think God is on your side when bad luck and misfortune befall the one you hate? It doesn’t make sense for me to pay taxes to a Government that doesn’t give me adequate healthcare facilities, better infrastructure and an education system that prepares my children to better opportunities, but why should you also be loved the way you want and you’re not loving enough for the other side to feel satisfied.

Random thoughts, a poem without direction, No! A poem praising the author is more so the same as that selfie you took with a group of friends, we choose things that make us look great, we are our first priority, we are narcissistic beings, yet we pretend to be generous, caring and loving but isn’t that how we want things or who we are as human beings? 

So listen more, to the people who are losing and the people who are also winning, so listen more to your inner voice and both your stubbornness, pay close attention to signs probably they are communicating to your inner deafness, listen more because there might be a storm flooding your name… KOTH BIRO!
