Envious Rivalry

A poem by Samuel Nze

I told them they would destroy my world
They would make it a hell;
They cannot say I did not tell them,
As I looked upon them from celestial heights

The country is full of mediocre ill
Of a lack of understanding;
The land is full of hate,
No one cares at all.

This old man is barking at his daughter
Saying this and that;
He is refusing to reason,
No gentlemanliness about him.

They struggle with one another
Increase the need to strive;
They complain about everything,
There is no respite.

Bickering the livelong day
These ones do not care for the truth;
They love delusion,
They give it heated chase.

It is envious rivalry they prefer
Envious rivalry they choose;
It is envious rivalry that will,
As it were satisfy them.

Great capture of rivalry, specially the hanged one at the top . The pointing and laughing and crying of the other two is great too.

Shame on you for not showing diversity in race/gender!

I kid. Xb

You always find some of the most interesting poems and I love seeing how you illustrate them. I've made a challenge for myself to come up with one more directed towards your style to see if I can write it and if it ends up as one of your inspirations.

Rien de tel pour lutter un peu contre la "battle royalisation" du monde.

The poem has a lot of truth in it I think. And you've done a great job of representing the theme of that poem in your picture. ^^

Too true. The top dog is always getting challenged. Very nice. I like the simplicity of it, it makes sure the message doesn't get lost.
