THE CHRONICLES OF PERSEVERANCE
A vessel at one stage of his life once had a flawless streak,
All down to the fact that all he wanted was made available,
With sense of reasoning as sharp as that of an eagle's beak,
He always looked to know how to make himself very comfortable.
Enormous afflictions of the world then began to spring to life,
No chance for anyone or anything that came in very close contact,
Affected by the uncontrollable madness and deepest strife,
He was completely brought down to the level where he had to choose between survival or continue treading this hard path.
The motivation behind the flawlessness of his streak was gone,
A very great giant outrightly looked to have fallen,
Strong and dogged in his ways to get himself back up to be reborn,
The afflictions were always at work to ensure he continues to keep falling.
Like a drained vehicle being refilled he tore off the clutches of his afflictions,
Roaring out loud like a banished lion out for vengeance,
His face-off with his afflictions put them in different stage of convulsions,
He shook off the chains of his bondage to complete his new unforeseen emergence.
Afflictions would always try hard to cloud up great stories,
Nothing in this cold world is ever seen as permanent,
There is no one whether rich or poor without their worries,
The way we all choose to react to our problems makes us all very different.
