The Dark War
In helter-skelter
everyone scatter.
I joined the rest of
legs to jump gutter.
Everyone is an
Africa jet.
Flying dug above
the moon.
Countless
permanently fell to
the earth.
Now east is a hell
and north,an
earthquake.
While west is a
flooding ocean.
Forked lightening
and thunder guard
the south.
Yet the center is
slippery.
Death is calling
everyone.
Our Eden became
Sodom and
Gomorrah.
I ran to undestiny
destination,
being pursue by
guns and cutlasses.
Panting like hunting
dog.
I stumbled and fell
into a trance.
I saw an old blind
woman,
too blind to behold
darkness.
Jubliating with hands
placed on her head.
Mother can't
recognize her child,
let alone an eye
desirer.
I am as helpless as
helpless herself.
I was so paralysed
to stand up.
I gazed at her with
eyes of mercy
but was posses with
legs of paralysis.
Because life race is
forever.
Continually falling
and rising
in dying and living,
I ran to an edge
I lifted up my head
and saw gun
pointing at my
forehead
