Workshop Poem the Betrayer of You and I

For a year l have been travelling around the world Searching for the betrayer of you and I I travelled to the four cardinal point of the world I went to Burundi central Africa Where river Nile was, I asked the Nile Of the great enemy of you and I Your great enemy is with you, said the Nile I went to USA. to lake Itasca in Minnesota Where the river Mississippi was,I asked the Mississippi Of the betrayer of you and I Your betrayer is with you, said the Mississippi I wonder in solitude, who could be the enemy I was unable to go home on that day Because the day is already down, so I decide To stay for the night at the coast of Mississippi I heard a voice shriek in my ear I woke up in my dream Gravity pulled me high in to the sky I heard the voice again in my ear Oh! my son you are wellcome Look down to the land of livings I saw how people were causing destruction to the land of living Hatred grown between a couple Brothers and sisters were killing each other Malicious gossip between two friends 'Do you now know the betrayer' Said the lord No my lord Your great enemy is your nose I was lost in awe and wonder,how could a nose Be the great enemy of you and I,your nose Can smell all these good foods for you to eat And you are using it to breathe And yet it betrayed you Your nose can't smell someone malice at you Someone of dangerous behaviour If not because of your nose Life wouldn't have corrupted to this level I woke up from my dream I realised it was a dream And the betrayer I have been searching for all this while is NOSE. 12/5/2015 Contest: Workshop poem Sponsor: Cyndi MacMillan.
