The Birth of Tragedy

hunnar



 

prejudice of his faculty alludes,

inevitable, what is, he wants to elude;

genesis of tragedy, a mournful prelude,

facade flaws of his folly delude;

on the voyage of that of herd,

afraid he is of the censure’s word;

ignorance blinds the man’s sight,

as he thinks in black and white;

amidst misfortune, virtues shall rise,

yet his blunders empowers the vice;

fate betrayed you? dice rolled by devil?

behold, nothing, according to nature, is evil;

for he was shielded from his foes,

smirking there his friends, who did pose;

his envy made the desired elusive,

chaotic allegory deceptively allusive;

culprit being himself, pointing to others,

has he now justification for a murder?

the future is here, unevenly realise,

the bigger dilemma is yet to arise;

for he was afraid of dark, shall be forgiven,

but now afraid of light? terrific riven;

present endowing to make a strategy,

future will show a birth of tragedy.

  • Comment from author about the poem: i believe there’s tragedy in many people’s life nowadays, also they are the guiltiest culprits for their own tragedy. in this poem i tried to capture how a person is responsible for his own downfall
