Analysis of Traffic jam!



© 2014 Roland Ediare 91652504-2-10-1-13

An encounter
The traffic jam of life
They won't let her be
Punctuating her mind.
One step forward,
Ten steps backward,
Demand they can't meet
They request your head.

Attempt to get more eggs
They butcher the mother hen
In process to their loss
Egg sources trumped for good.
Demand and demands
Like a grave never to be filled.
Complaints and complaints
They undo goodwill un-derserved

Like a traffic jam
Vehicles un-moving
A simple plan of life
Complicated by a lifestyle of strife.
Ohhhh! what a regret,
One-way track minds
Lopsided partnerships
Cankerworm relationships
Business transactions amiss.

Rules are bent, tables turned
The deal stays un-closed.
Now the thrill is gone
The egg laying Hen is dead,
For their greed and avarice
That's the way the cookie crumbled
Forever in the traffic jam of life.

Roland 'KingShip' Ediare

I'm a man sold-out to The God of JesusChrist...I preach Him in & out of Season...-I I love life, laughter and being myself...I'm "BRASH"; usually not a 'respecter of persons'...I practically speak things as they are with a pragmatic intent. ...And I'm usually Very PASSIONATE about whatever I speak or do...lol ...Regarding my poetry: I usually put on a character and a subject that I'm passionate about...It brings me close to deliver my passion as the real characters would feel...As close as I can get if the 'subject' was me....someday 'Beyond the Sky' will be my reach. "Deo Volente!...Please Enjoy my poems, most of them are quite deep; so when you read try to get outside 'The Box'; because ...I write from outside the box...And Remain Blessed. Then before you rate Google the meaning of unknown word, you do not know it all...How do you fault what you do not understand...the burden of understanding is never on the giver of information, but on the recipient...Anyway thanks. more…
