POETRY: A Difference In Pain

Published

on

For some, it’s not a question of passion;

it’s the quest for survival.

For some, it’s not a matter of vision; it’s the necessity to live.

For some, it’s not a pursuit for greatness, it’s the strive to not be grain-less.

For some, it’s not a matter of purpose; it’s the push to preserve breath.

For some, it’s not a matter of luxury; it’s the need for shelter from the weather.

For some, it’s not a matter of territory; it’s just a longing for peace.

For some, it’s not a matter of pleasure; it’s the search for a daily measure.

For some, it’s not a matter of beauty; it’s the duty to carry on.

Do not deem yourself better than the other.

“Onye ọ bụla nwere mgba ya”

It’s just a difference in pain.
