No Man's Land by Nobody: 12:28am On Sep 01, 2016 |
A place of nobody Where even the gods make love A place where nobody lives; For someone is out to kill A place where nobody dies; We die to live in our dust: Our epitome of glory. Then shall our change come Cultivated by the foot of many generations For there's always a first time To die, and that's the last And I, a virgin in death Would think of my last sin In a place of no name. ©2016 2 Likes 1 Share |

Is the theme of your poem 'Death' or 'Rebirth'. Though there's something morbid about it. Cc: TheAgba. |

miclez: As the title of the poem implies, "no man's land" refers to the earth as the land and no man owns the earth. The religious stuffs in the poem are "where the gods make love" and "we die to live in our dust" which explains that we don't die as also stated in the poem. From dust we come and dust we return. Sorry for that rough. Thanks |

TheAgba:What about the last five lines? |
Re: No Man's Land by Nobody: 7:50am On Oct 12, 2016 |
miclez: Anyway, those lines just talk about the fact that we have only one life to live. The first time we die is our last. A virgin in death because we die once and not twice. Just like a lady can't be disflowered twice. Thanks |
