We stand tall, yet so low

We can see through thick

One of the best yet. Sorrowful and Tragic It is the subjection and dejection that Mar them. Thank You!
This speaks much about the poor, desolate and dejected. Also speaks much about those who lost their opportunities..... Thanks for sharing.
The raw, rabid reality of hopelessness is here eloquently expressed!
Very true dear Poet........ And this helplessness and hopelessness is overwhelming.
Thanks Chinedu Sir. My fellow Nigerian Poet... I will read your works.
Yes, we are chained and manacled in a dark valley! Here dreams are shattered, hopes die at conception and opportunities never knock at the doors! Here we are tortured and tormented. Though from here we can see the blue sky above, we cannot get out of the bars of rage. All we can do is to scream aloud to be heard in the distant hills... Either the echo will come back to us or some one may come to rescue us. Great write!
This is true Professor. This is seen in the lives of those that have failed either because of poverty or another way. They have dreams, but no way to attain them and so they settle for a lower option and never attain their great Dreams. Some women get married and then wallow away due to marital issues. They wanted to be great and add value to the world as women of substances, but they couldn't. Their husbands and families restrict them. Others are mentally down and so are locked within walls, their dreams faint away.... And all they do is to wish and wish and wish for a great miracle. The story goes on and on, but at the end Dreams become shattered and hope lost. Thanks for a faithful review.....
Well articulated and insightfully penned with conviction. A lovely poem with beautiful title. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
You are welcome. There are helpless situations where some people unfortunately find themselves and struggle to come out, but they cannot and this is what you have penned down. God bless you
