VICIOUS CIRCLE – a Poem by Ijaiya Tahir

Hopefully, I will overcome
Shamefully, I never do
Like a song on replay
I expected a familiar stimulus
But my solution was
my problem
It goes on and on

Trapped in endless time
I don’t mean life itself
But the stimuli-response phenomenon
I always come back for rematch
A match I will definitely lose
A familiar defeat
I never cease to embrace
And it goes on and on

A foe I offer shelter
Set the shelter ablaze
But I never mind
The familiar arsonist
Entrusted with a lighter
It’s a vicious circle
But I care less
It goes on and on
