Drum of Life

Drum of Life I heard the melodic sounds, From a wide range along the desert of life. I'm deafened by the wordily words Muted by the strange sounds Just like an earthquake It echoed down my heart, It speaks nothing but gibberish Is this the Savior of the world? Yes! It sounds with no bass but tuneful to the ears. Beat the drum of life, The beat that gives life. Life filled with nobilities, When I'm gone, beat the drum of life for my revival. Not just an ordinary drum The mighty drum amidst the jinns The invisible drum under the earthily soil. When the sun shines It blinks his reflection upon my heart, When the moon appeared, I felt the warmness of it touches. The beautiful charming face. Above the cloud it smiled to the beat of life. But, I want to be rebirth. From every sounds of life. Like, the talking drum(Gangan) I want to speak in parables to my listeners, With my directions unknown to the viewers. Put them in suspense of realities. But, I'm broken from behind, Shattered into pieces of my fate. I can't even dance to the joyous sounds I'm heavy like a 1000 year old rock I want to be baptize by the drum of life Where can I find it? The only hope to my restoration. Is it under the protection of the sun? No! The drum of life lives all round the earth. It serves as the air we breathe, Just like a detached force, It fight our war against sorrow. Akinpelu Mansor Ishola
