Poem For Review 'the Border' by Adextaiwo48(m): 10:38pm On May 07, 2015 |
The Border >> On the border line >> Don't know if to move left or right >> The tree on the right, serpent on the left >> In the middle of Eden, the knowledge of good and evil i lack >> What is right or wrong i know not >> The serpent whispers, the fruit on the tree blooms,God watches >> Who to obey i know not >> >> On the border line >> No harbour nor shelter i can take refuge >> Life is hard,heaven uncertain >> Being on the battlefield unprepared, death knocking hard on my bamboo door >> The older i grow,the louder the knock >> Like a deity whose worshippers rejected i stand >> I'm the confused one on a crossroad with no compass >> >> On the border line >> Tick tick i can hear,time moving nearer >> The ripe fruit the sad ones >> The secret they says is how to die >> Life's short,death a long and silent thing >> How to die,i know not >> If the secret is really how to die then the cat is still in the bag >> >> On the border line >> I can neither move left nor right >> So I'd rather embrace the line >> My beloved country stuck on a line >> Forward nor backward It move not >> Blessed with all but everything it lacks >> When today's youths will lead,only tomorrow can tell >> On the border line, my thoughts my compass!!! |
