HOPE POEM: "FERTILE FUTURE: YOU ARE WELCOME!" BY AJAKAYE STRIDA

You are welcome!

To the beneficial trends of positive confidence,

walking weakness out of your world,

and sprinkling water upon your seedling dreams.

You are welcome!

To the consciousness of time,

discussing nothing but topics

that react and treat societal conditions.

You are welcome!

To the thundering light of significance,

Pounding pennies into the pockets

of poorly encouraged skills.

You are welcome!

To beat bravely, the pitfalls of challenges,

with dragoned determination and eagled focus,

do you understand?

You are welcome!

To the flowering fruits of the affective domain,

dragging your ears towards meekness

and imitable character as The Brown Creeper (Ornitheology, 2022).

You are welcome!

To dive your efforts in the sea of positive possibilities,

utilizing failure as an experience

to fertilize a bright future as Gardens of Versailles (The Sunday Times, 2024.)

You are welcome!

To sensitive recording of floody activities,

flowing streams never go backwards,

yet; they depend on the air behind.

You are welcome!

To jail the nomadism of greed,

he who steals a King's trumpet

cannot blow it beyond the former's ears.

You are welcome! 

To not only dine with greatest personalities,

but also to build dreams with them,

as white lion and a Bengal tiger (Daily News, 2020).

You are welcome!

To a famous and flourishing future,

drum your heart and body

towards a fertile future.
