Is Happiness Really Free? a poem by Dayo Skills.


                      Is Happiness Really Free? 




I See On Social Media She's Always Posting 'Happiness Is Free', 
Like Something So Easy As Plucking Leaves From A Tree, 
Or Was She Moved By The Mood When He Took Her On A Shopping Spree, 
Happiness Is Divine To The Mindset To Give What's Given Or You Disagree?,



Splashes Of Smiles Under The Soft Rain As Angels Use Lighting For Sky Camera Flash, 
But Thousands Of Kids In Somalia And Goma Danced Naked Even Without A Cardigan To Dash,
Are We Really Happy Alone?... Like On A Private Island With A Billion Dollars In Cash, 
So A Wise Man Said Happiness Is A State That Counts In A Moment And Better If Shared Then He Rolled Up His Moustache,



Some Are Trying Hard To Be... But Bryan Committed Suicide Out Of Lack Of It From His Penthouse,
And Morẹnikẹ In Ẹpẹ Is Dancing Zanku After She Got Mum's Gift Of A Blouse, 
My Old Friend Cynthia Is All With Her Hands Up In Gratitude  As Her Mother's Cancer Disappears And She Only Had 48 Hours, 
But Jane Is Blessing His Heart As She Got The Ring And The Big Question From Her Spouse,



Can't You See It's The Little Things In Life... But Many Chase What Yet Makes Happiness Impossible,
Beastly Appetite In Many Keeps Yearning For Anything Everything Till It Becomes Horrible, 
Tears Are Allowed But Forgive So You Could Move On To Water The Grounds Of Happiness If You're Able, 
Ṣe Bó Timọ Ẹlẹwa Ṣàpọ́n's Vibe Resonates Beyond A Beans Seller But Help Me Tell'em To Be Contented Is A Virtue That's Adorable, 



Happiness Is A Blessing So Bless Others With It, 
It's Like Being Thankful For A Store Filled With Food Stuff And You Give The Hungry To Eat,
Some Like Wipe My Tears ...Pray With Me And See Prayers Answered As We Shine Our Teeth, 
But The Heavens Can Be Happy Too And My Lord Can Smile Down If You Have Really Become Happy And Sweet.

  5. I Appreciate You, Thank You So Much.
    I Actually Expressed A Bit (first stanza) Of This Poem On Air When Another On-Air Personality Just Gave Me A Title To Speak On Spontaneously...

    So Before I Cast The News At 8:00am A Week After, I Thought I Amplified It, Delivered It On Air (all happened between 7:38am - 7:50am while jamming songs, playing adverts and going through the news bulletin) And Now Here It Is - Blogged.

    I Give All Glory And Gratitude For Inspiration, Wisdom And Creativity To Yeshua.

  6. In my encounter with one of your poetry work decide me the kind of mentor I am looking for...... Sir am mostly blessed and expose to other angles of writing from this particular one.
