Poem
As far as the eyes can stretch Sand shines and glitters white to torment the eyes In the ocean of land barren without life A determined line of black souls Forges ahead their efforts A sole upon sole they entrust their all In an optimistic advent to redemption The skies above so devoid of hope Not even a single cloud shows Instead vultures fly high yet nearby ...rooting for a falling soul that they may devour Each frail soul in the trail tries its best to keep awake and abreast Lest it falls prey to the creatures seeking a meal for the day How in their souls they wish to curse the heavens above But instead, tradition ensures they pray for miracles of mercy When the sun reaches its heights and unleashes a wrath only of its kind Impromptu pit stops must be made on the sand that bakes hot, ...with garments used to form light tents overhead ...providing temporary reprieve from the scotching pain As the souls silently sit One may think they rest But an investigation into their introspections ...reveals fears and worries that can torture to death A mother thinking of the son’s burdening weight ...wishing and plotting to abandon him by the wayside ....so she may forge just a few of kilometres ahead A father worrying of his wife’s and daughter’s safety ...if and when they cross the rebels way The bitter souls wish to blame it all on heaven It’s all because the Divine Fraternity failed to provide rain Or is it because they refused to heed the lessons of science and history ...albeit the potentials of modernity All in all, whichever dimension perceived from The hunger has sunk deep its claws ...and in its control it has brought along many other foes The grass is greener beyond the border... they heard it told So now, come what may, there they must go to save their souls For the herds of animals are long gone and all wealth is forever lost Perhaps they shall all live to see a better day Perhaps they shall all be blown dead ...by an explosive from overhead But in each precise moment of the day ...that they can fill air in their lungs ...and perceive hope in their heads Their hearts must furnish the will to inspire their strengths ...to gain that extra mile ahead Hopefully, the future might have a lesson that they shall never relent For in life, with a future that forever beckons ...it is never too late to be correct
