Listen to poem:

Progress of Pilgrims

Progress of Pilgrims
David J Walker

Poverties refugees 
In portions of wealth 
for the making
Sunbaked promises 
	Cotton spun gold
Such are the 
stories told 
For the taking 

In the slim shadows of
Mills that turn wind 
into water 
soil into fodder for
		cattle

forgotten graves 
mark the progress of
Pilgrims on a
Caliche highway to heaven
