TAKEN A NOSE-DIVE
by Daniel Dela Dunoo Why has the mighty taken a nose-dive From the mountain tops to valleys of fearsome depth From the ivory towers of academia to the dung hill of the ignoramus From an enviable position of grace to a pitiful position of grass From being the head to being the tail From shinning so luminously to shinning so faintly From royalty to servitude From imposing excellence to crystal clear mediocrity From the pulsating domain of stardom to glaring obscurity From the front side of life to the back side of life From colossal wealth to murky poverty From a advantageous position to a state of susceptibility From a venerated leader to a repugnant follower Why why why I asked Feeling perturbed and incensed A still diminutive yet firm and distinct voice whispered Pride Pride Pride Pride was their demise Pride goes before a plummet Commit to memory God resist the conceited But gives grace to the self-effacing the Holy Writ states Never ever forget this fact of life Was the final words of the still diminutive voice Written by Daniel Dela Dunoo Email: [email protected] I am a writer, editor, blogger & published author.
