Poem : 'To get out of the house of hunger is easy if you know there is a way out'

in #popcontest7 years ago (edited)

When someone has pushed you into a pit
But you can't climb out now.
There is hope in knowing there is a way out
At least you know the way out is going up
And thats when you start to plan.

When you are walking in the desert,
Dehydrated, thirsty and hungry
You can choose to take life or death
But if you are certain you will be safe
Thats when you will be saved.

If you are in the hospital,
Having lied on a bed for months now
A rare disease has struck you
Then you will only comeback to us
Only if you see yourself coming back inside your mind.

Life's problems are many.
Your offspring may forget you
But only if you believe you will get back love
That is only when you will get it.
You see there is power in expecting.

When you see you are penniless,
Feeling the pain with every thought,
Will you get out of this burden?
Yes only if you just know something.
Knowing that there is a way out.

Feeling spiritually empty
And thirsty of agape love?
There is a way out.
You heard there is a way back then.
And yes the way is to live his life with hope.

When you are lost in a bleak forest
Not knowing the direction to go
Everyone wants a way out of sorrow
Yes there is a way out only if you think so.
Those who succeed know there is a way out of failure

The way out is strong hope.
Hope in things not yet seen.
Seen only in your mind is greatness.
Greatness so rich and deep.
So deep like the Pacific ocean.

Knowing there is a way solves than not knowing.
Not knowing destroys passion for life.
Life is worth living.
You deserve to live this for God has permitted it.
Thinking there is a way makes it so.

A sick man is healed by going to the doctor,
Because he know there is a doctor so he is healed.
If he was ignorant death may have arrived,
So when you are on the death bed remember to tell yourself
There is a way out to being rejuvenated.

For some the way out means education,
For others its faith and love.
Confidence in things not yet seen is great.
Is great because its a spirit booster.
An internal booster because you let it so.

Inspired by the Dambudzo Marechera's Quote : ' To get out of the house of hunger is easy if you know there is a way out'. Watch his Movie on Youtube called The House of Hunger which was based on his novel of the same name.
