SOJOURNERS
The earth keeps rotating with enveloped groans
And our sanity stand on the river bank
Looking at the mother earth in her cubicle of doom
Yet our eyes are blurred as we could only see gloom
Under wide structure of the globe we forlornly picture
With our mouths salivating in total dejection
The sun goes abroad, the moon disappears aloof,
The stars journeyed unreturnable, the world is down.
Only with the inner mirror we could tame the catcj
As our lives become rounded yet flat and paralleled.
No hope for the commoners
The Halloween is gory and blemishing surly
The vicar neglects his scriptures the offerings
the painter forget to design, the pen lying low
And like Goddoh watchers we all wait
On this bank of doom we are
Our dearth is nocking and rocking on our shoulders,
And this plight angst on our pitiable lives for so long.
For such a long time we did not keep the book of.
Alas! The surge pinched us deadly down
Our voice is being banged battered, bruised and banned
And like a pack of unholy criminal we are castigated
The world we so cherished now a for,
The water we used to gulped now a spell,
Only just now we know we are done
Done to waist for the day we would conquer
But the day we would be speared of the pogrom

BRIAN HERE ~ Good Evening HAMMED welcome to MPS. It is a pleasure to welcome a Member from NIGERIA. MPS is a good site and it opperates by reading & commenting on each others Poetry. Thanks for your first Poem ~ Four excellent verses but a tragic Subject ~ COVID 19 ! There is a clear mesage in each of your verses.
V 1. Planet Earth continues to Rotate and Revolve rund the Sun ~ But she is very very different in 2020 than she was in 2019 ~ due to the Global scourge of COVID 19
V 2. Every person on Planet earth is affected by COVID 19 ~ irrespective of Country - Class - Colour or Creed. COVID 19 is no respecter of PERSONS !
V 3. F or too long we have taken *Nature* for granted. Despite our sophistication ~ We seem helpless when She decides to fighback against our abuse of the only Living Planet in the Solar System !
V 4. *Hell hath no fury like Nature scorned* We will die & be forgotten like other Proud Civilizations that have precceded Homo Technologicus !
Thanks for caring & sharing
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
