The Irony Of Life Poem by DUUT NADJAT ZUBERU

This poem highlights the perceived decline of decency, morality, and positivity in the society. It critiques the way people treat each other, particularly in romantic relationships, where heartbreak and betrayal seem to be normalized. I expressed a sense of disconnection from the values and behaviors promoted by my generation, referring to it as the 'lost generation". I emphasised my unique perspective and values, which differ from those around me. POETIC DEVICES. 1. Imagery and metaphors: The use of vivid imagery and metaphors, such as 'religion being another form of slavery' and 'betrayal and revenge has become a culture of the youth, ' effectively conveys my message. 2. Repetition and rhythm: The repetition of 'A world where' creates a sense of rhythm and emphasizes the themes I am addressing. 3. Contrast: I effectively use contrast to highlight the differences between my values and those of the world around me.
