My Last Song by PIPROM(m): 3:30pm On Jan 17, 2010 |
The clouds move In mournful steps, I lie face up Bound with injustice Like a funeral ram. My lips move In vain attempt To shout my cause. From the slab, Funeral songs Of butchers’ knives Atop sharpening stones Assault my eardrums, Death comes in installments. My captors In low voices Share my organs To vultures, My blood to themselves, Ancestors on exile. When my voice returns, I shall sing My last song. I shall step with valour Into Eternity. By Chidi Anthony Opara (From author's facebook page) |
