Along Came Yonda

ALONG CAME YONDA

I recall to mind
the nite after the general elections
came a man to me - the name Yonda

Talked of Abyssinia and Cush..
the twin lions enthroned on the -
sacred mountain... talked of the eagle...
and the dragon rising to the air....
talked of changing fortunes for my people..

he departed after extracting 
from me a promise.. a mention
in my yet to be written book.....
...the book of the mistari...
The seer Yonda - is...
Romour-ed to be the greatest seer
East and South east Asia
