Shells of Glory

There are contests and competitions for varying positions in the civil service which are judged by corrupt commiittees. They are bribed and sometime leave behind those who deserve the post. A teene age boy has not been selected for the national sports team and in his place another player with lesser soccer skills has been taken. So he is now talking to his girlfriend who couldn't find him in the released list of players.

When you watch the stars
Do you see me in the sky?
Though kept in the shadow
I am still visible darling

When the winds come to push
When this dark cloud moves over
I shall come out with full swing
And shine for you brightly
Till you pick shells of glory
From the sea shores of hope

It is never about people or qualifications, it is about paybacks or payoffs; so very sad, indeed. Somehow you have found a soft place amid all this injustice. You are an amazing writer, may your pen never run dry.
Take care,
Sherry

I hope the dark cloud moves over soon Abdi Noor. A beautiful metaphorical poem that brings out the unjust practices of some
leaders. Excellent!

Love and blessing to you and yours,
Eileen

Very well done poem with a message in it that the good usually prevail. Unfortunately, in real life that is not allways the case, but we still have to strive to that end. Good.
