In my placidity, I rest <br />I see the worst looks like the best <br />The glistening gold and the crest <br />All but pseudo, I won't protest. <br />. <br />In my placidity, I peep <br />The poor happy in his hardship <br />But the tears of the rich drip <br />Mystery has its fate to keep. <br />. <br />In my placidity, I pity <br />Life's acute agonies of adversity <br />Life's suprised smiles of serendipity <br />Everything here, all but futility. <br />. <br />In my placidity, I wept <br />I saw everything asunder crept <br />I saw brutality at deepest dept <br />All immoralities sincerely kept. <br />. <br />In my placidity, I rise <br />And life is a game of dice <br />Today, our fates suffice <br />Tomorrow comes in vague and disguise. <br />.<br /><br />Joseph Oladehinde Ibikunle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-my-placidity/
