my haters say....... <br />O they mutter to <br />the ears of the <br />winds <br />when all legs are in <br />race, <br />my haters stand <br />still to say me bad <br />to the trees of my <br />soil <br /> <br />they say.... <br />being a poet is not <br />my way <br />that I'm just a <br />craig-fish in the <br />sea of words <br /> <br />but they don't <br />know, <br />neither big nor <br />small, craig-fish is a <br />fish <br /> <br />they say..... <br />I always <br />questioned my <br />imagination <br />-a tale of blind <br />memories <br />And also my <br />imagination is a <br />stammerer <br />-to utter words <br />quickly <br /> <br />but they don't <br />know, <br />-sooner or later my <br />stammering - <br />imagination <br />shall murmur 'ba- <br />ba-ba' <br /> <br />they say..... <br />my talent has <br />withered in my <br />dreams <br />That I can only lie <br />in the day <br />-on the sandy-mat <br />in sun <br /> <br />but they don't <br />know, <br />that like copper- <br />beech <br />-that fell on the <br />sea shore <br />and later brings <br />forth brown leaves <br />I'll rise <br /> <br />they say..... <br />I'm just an <br />audience <br />-to the drama of <br />life <br />that I can only <br />applaud the <br />characters on the <br />stage of fame <br /> <br />but they don't <br />know, <br />that my Lord is the <br />author <br />-of the drama <br />which they acted; <br />He shall make me <br />the protagonist <br />-because He <br />knows that my <br />haters are my <br />antagonist <br /> <br />my haters, this is <br />what you've <br />uttered <br />abi I lie?<br /><br />Adesitimi Taiwo Damilola<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/they-say-47/
