Olusegun Arowolo Poet Than-Bauk

Waste Land

Waste Land(Than-bauk)


A place of rife
Without life goal
Is strife wasteland.



This poem is Unique because it explains the way political leaders hold on to power and 
oppress the masses;and when the masses cannot take it any longer it results to revolution or war making the land desolate i.e waste, leading to brutal killings etc

the special line is.......Is strife wasteland......

O.A
