A Last Letter From The Desert- A Poem By Gaby by gaby(m): 6:43pm On Sep 02, 2018 |
So guys here's a poem I had written when I was about venturing into the desert proper. I lost the original along the way but had to redo this.. Hope you'd like and enjoy it... (A note from the desert): In Loving Memory of my Fallen Desert Warriors). Sobs!!! Staring out into the desert plains All I see is a wall of sand East, west, north and south I feel like a needle in this endless stack As I'm set to venture in With my bread loaf as hard as a rock And my money in my bowels saved Through my rectum I had it banked Oh water-can, I plead My thirst to quench I hope And if my truck should die Make me your meal o maggots My flesh to you I give Promise you'd evolve and make a flight To Nigeria and announce my plight 37 Eweje street is my home Tell them the desert won Tell the truth about its tale The tale of me and my likes 'Twasnt the plan, but now I'm lost If I be not fleshy to eat As the sun my body dries On the scorching sand I lay Dying with my eyes unshut A mummified me is what you'd find If you ever journeyed through But I pray you never will This letter I hope you read. If the sands inter me not And you wish to honour me As you move my dried out body Do not fail to find this letter. We all came, saw but most got conquered. Keep resting in peace fallen desert warriors. Copyright Peterson Ojieson 2018 1 Like |

Wow so touching I still find it difficult to believe that a sane human being will follow that dangerous route just to seek greener pasture. So pathetic!!! whenever i come across desert story it reminds me of a novel i read some years ago "The return of Ameze" |
