FLOWER AMONGS GRASSES
Poem by Kene Anthony
I’m a beauty amongst the Ugly
I’m a strong man among the weak
I’m the healthy among the sick
I’m a young man among the old
Just like flower among grasses
I’m the rich man among the poor
I’m the clean man amongst dirt
I’m the hard worker amongst the lazy
I’m the learned amongst illiterates
Just like flower among grasses
If so far you’ve only heard my poetic rhyme
Or thought highly of yourself as a champion amongst others
And not seen the error that lurks around you
Then keep your applaud to yourself
Cos we are flowers among grasses
Young men so gifted yet without opportunities
Skillful women so willing but no platform
Vocal men so outspoken yet their voices are mute
Who will save Africa? Who will save our world?
We are flowers amongst grasses
I’ve lost my identity in this toxic environment
Am I still a flower? Or have I become a grass?
What can a wise man do when his team are fools
The fact that she’s cool doesn’t make everything around her cool
Just like flower among grasses.
Help me share this piece.
