Feast At Jungle
We have come to the
" feast"
At jungle, to dance
to tunes
Of music of our
time, and now,
Leaving the arena
for others,
Returning with
cheering heart.
Gladdened by our
worth
Our shoulder laid
with arrogant pride
As it was at the
beginning,
We stomped
tirelessly, bathed
with
Salt water and with
the eyes of flame
Grope for dream.
" Determination"
stands the
watch-word
To some, it
shattered away
As the hour danced
past
When at the time of
deep distress
Along the hobbling
wattle forest
And of trial, were
threshed
And shoved into
obscurity.
But we pegged away
into
The realm walls of
faith
Where we spurned the
nights
Of fear that stalk
the day
In a combative
poise.
We are coming
To fertile our land
With the frothy
glory
Trapped in our
hands.
Hearts leap of joy
As we slung our bags
over
Our back, touching
each other,
Gaze timidly at
faces with surge
Of excitement.
Hear the drum beat
of glee.
Indeed!
We have arrived at
the niche of time
Bringing castles of
hope,
Telling sad-sweet
tales
Of our voyage.
