But I love poems, and I write poems, thou not many have seen light, and if you wanna read one poem I wrote recently Melancholia , check it out!
My poems are mainly 10 minute works, primarily due to the fact that I am lazy to sit in front of paper and thinking through and between the lines, I go with the flow, my poems are so, my actions are so and my life is so soo.
So but I gape with Awe of creative works that has inspired generations. So Thought I will share three poems that got me hooked from films.
Invictus is a movie I saw just to listen to that poem, and boy there is only one right way to listen to that poem, narrated by Morgan Freeman. I am telling you there aint any other good way to listen to it.
But here goes the poem , written by William Earnest Henley. goes like this.
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
Amen I say! Its said that Henley's whole life is depicted by this single poem. Putting one's life into a poem , that is why this poem is so powerful. That is why this poem is said to have taken Nelson Mandela through 27 years of prison. That is why this poem was recited by some ,before their execution.
What if our life could make a poem? Would it be empty or would it be cliche? I hope it wont be either....
