DUEL

I am a kid, I take no battle

Because I know I’d fall like cattle

I tried to live a peaceful life

Not knowing someday, I’d pick up the knife

I was bullied through my emotions

Knowing fully well I couldn’t cause commotion

That one challenge brought out the beast

Which made me rise like I swallowed some yeast

I stopped taking time to listen to gists

I took more time to build up my fists

Taking different schedules to build my brain

I realised, I was more faster than a train

My friends and family did nothing but tease

But nothing they did could make me cease

Because I knew I’d been challenged to a duel

Which I must try all my best to do well

I took sometime to go to the spiritual

Knowing fully well that it was scriptural

Talking to one good father who listens

I was rest assured he’d make me glisten

The trumpet sounded, the battle begun

But that was not the time to turn and be gone

My sword came down with such great power

Breaking his sword in pieces and making him cower
