Look What I've been Offered
Bees buzzing at the busy last knight
That which I do not know for it was night
Waking up to be exalted with the warrior knife
Whom in the battle lost his life
I am their new hero
The life I've been wanting like the Euro.
Earth flooded with blood like Hade's hell
The fight with Zeus that we can't tell;
I woke like a commander who walked the knight untouched
My soldiers have fallen in the enemies unsheathed
Nor have I work to behold their warrior sheathe.
The unusual accolade looks like the eclipse
I equipped myself to what I deserve not
A sinecure, as vulture picks
What it deserves not
Look What I've been Offered
see me to my doom.
About this poem
The poem titled 'Look What I've been offered' is a 17-line poem which explains the theme of 'self-fit-in'. As it is rampant in my country, many people just find themselves in position they do not fit in but considering all things they've been through, they take up immediate charge without knowing full well their responsibilities as whatever they've filled in. In many cases, you see uneducated people in white-collared Jobs or we say office jobs and term it luck or grace. They are in sinecures as explained by the poem though how they end is unknown to myself but most cases they do create problems that solving comes with a huge price, so the Poet said 'see me to my doom' to explain the most often situations. more »
