Claykind

A melange of two poems We are But Clay and To Yeats We are but Clay, Soon to crumble to dust, fade 'way- After the Cold Hand's call And the dead bells' knell We are no more than memories- Slowly fading to oblivion As vicious Clay clash like titans Against the Weaver of Clay strands The centre cannot hold There! The Dwelling gathers mold- Left to its doom, violated by scavengers Who like Judas peck their Mason. O Spirit! If you were here to behold Nations a-throat, men in scuffle. O Yeats! If you beheld our Clay- Setting in the East, back to Dust. There weeps the knell Here forth from Clay steps hell Given Breathe by Clay’s cupidity- Doom weighs over Claykind The latter, like Jezebel, is but having a make-up! Behold the mask, behold the impostors! Claykind veiled to conceal scalding faces: No mourning veils, no remorse As Clay take another shape! But Claykind should not forget That there is but a Titan In Whose entangling net We, like strange flu are patiently analyzed.

This is a good one Gerald. Proud to say this is from the stables of Cameroon. We may not get recognition, but we write because we are inspired. Keep that pen flowing brother. We will get there one day!
