POEM: The Land Is Red by 01Mysticdon(m): 3:00pm On Jun 17, 2016 |
Apologies! I know I haven't updated this site for a long time, please I'm very very sorry. I promise to give you fans 1 or 2 poems a week. Thanks for understanding The morning is greeted by frowns The towncrier is crying and delivering his message The colour and smell of the Earth has changed Blood O' Blood Women shouting "My Husband!", "My Husband!" Mothers shouting "My Children!", "My Children" The Land has gone red The Land is silent Everyone is afraid to speak They know the consequences Those they look up on like gods has forsaken them For they are the one's responsible for their woes Oh Egi! The once beautiful and peaceful city Your streets has been deserted And your soil smelling blood The wild animals are now safer than your Sons and Daughters Those they see as their resort has forsaken them Oh My Home! Egi My Father's Land! You have to fight back for yourself The elders are shaking their heads What has the best place in the world turned to? Your children are crying Their source of living has been threathned You name has be tarnished People call you bad Your friends are laughing at you Oh my great Egi, rise up Rise up! And show us that you haven't forsaken us Houses and schools has been taken over by grasses Because you have been deserted Foreigners and indigenes has left you For they say your taste has lost it's salt Rise up! And protect us For those you produced are the one killing you They are the one making your name to mean blood, anger and hunger They are the one that hates your peace Stand up Egi and fight for us For other elements seems to have failed us Clean the blood on your soil Let your land no longer be red Let the colour of the Earth be normal Spread your wings and defeat your enemies. Thanks for reading fans! Comment below. Share this poem and invite your friends to this site! Thanks and May the Good spirits be with you. 3 Likes |
