Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Verse

Eternal Quest

How many roads
must I traverse
before I get home?

How many seas
must I sail
before I reach ashore?

How many heartbreaks
must I endure 
before I find love?

How many wars
must I fight
before I win freedom?

How many lives
must I live
before I reclaim my soul?

How many demons
must I confront
before I find God?


~Inspired by "Blowin' in the wind" by Bob Dylan:
"How many roads must a man walk down"
~"Music to my ears" contest by Silent One
