Who am I

by Paul Gondwe   Feb 4, 2012


I consider myself to be the truth,
a vessel of some kind
owned by a heavenly power
which controls me like a puppet

With pen and paper in hand,
I close my eyes and write the unwritten
Words that will be passed on to generations
after me

I sing the unsung,
songs full of wisdom and love
providing hope to all corners of the earth,
from war torn Iraq to hunger engulfed Sudan

I for see the future that will be
while I dwell in the present,
slowly becoming my past
My third eye can prove so

Yet with all my visions,
I still question my abilities
Super powers have armies,
all I have is a pen and a paper
so who am I to change the world

    This is my favorite poem of yours "so far."
    the first line entrapped me with interest. As you may gather from my deeper philosophy style poems to say you are TRUTH, to me is very profound. the rest of you poem supported the concept and I like how it ended as well.

    Wow, Paul, this is an excellent poem! I really enjoyed it, and was captivated from start to finish. I really like how you wrote this poem, and the message was really nice... I like how you alluded to the war in Iraq and the hunger in Sudan, it shows how you care and want to express how you feel about what's happening in the world...

    Even though the ending wasn't really positive, I still feel it was hopeful.. and thoughtful.. to want to change the world.

    Great job with this poem!
