UNSEEABLE FUTURE

Yukunno Ghirmay

It is taboo
In Asmara

A uni-student
To barter/
Exchange
His educational promise

With
Professional sportsmanship

For it doesn't matter
Whether you muster to explain
It
With miraculous deeds/skills/practical terminologies.

For it is
Still
Impossible with that and too many
To entice
Any

    Your verses paint a vivid picture of societal norms and personal sacrifices in Asmara. The juxtaposition of educational aspirations and the allure of professional sportsmanship creates a poignant reflection on the delicate balance between academic pursuits and athletic dreams. The resistance to compromise one's educational journey for sportsmanship underscores the value placed on academic integrity and the challenges of navigating competing passions. Your poetic expression captures the essence of cultural expectations and individual choices in a thought-provoking manner.
