Tales of Vanity

In the land of horror,
lives a Sapien of honour,
who seeks love and virtue.
Also in quest of fortune.

Wandering like an hungry prey,
but nowhere to stay.
Hoping to be stinger,
but dying of hunger.

Jesus Christ of Nazareth !
Why does he roam in bereft?
Depression of all sorts,
and agony from different shortcuts.

The struggle of fortune continue,
and dances to anguish in different style,
but never in favour of honour,
in the land of horror.

               Alimi Abdulkabir's Poetry.
