THIS ROAD

~This Road~

Looking at this road

The road that links your soul

And mine together

From this sulky walks.

It lies so far away,

Far enough to get us distracted.

This long dusty road

Which’s end, the sun shines brighter

Than it ever has.

Where the clouds all robed

In white-a regalia

For our joyous celebrations

And the greeny vegetation

Showing us the rich fertility of

Our tomorrow

Oh!

How I wish you will love to walk on

This long dusty love journey with me.

PENNY AGE

~PENNY AGE~

Twenty-three golden coins

Slipping through my fingers

Each day as if I will earn more and more.

I feel happier even though it isn’t enough.

Just a penny, yet I’m happy.

I’m glad, simply because I find it more useful

And manageable than a million more without

Any earthly clue on how to spend it.

So in this gold penny age,

I shall bargain carefully and wisely with life

So I can buy much pleasure and happiness

In whatever I do.

CRY ON US

~CRY ON US~

Before you we stand

We the he and she mortals

Of the land

With our calabashes shivering in our hands.

Can’t you have mercy and shed a tear?

Why can’t you act as-

We usually testify, great and mighty?

And you life,

What wrongs have we done to you?

What wrongs have we done him?

That he should treat us like slaves

Lashing us each day?

Where do we know him-

Does he even know us?

What murder have we committed?

What heights are our atrocities?

That he should be so unfair,

Mean and unkind to us?

How long will our sent

Pleas finally reach your sensitive eyes

How long again will it take you to get sad enough

To shed tears on us?
