What if I ran away?

Allie561

How tempting it is to disappear

An engimatic thought

To leave the clangorous cities, evade the wars

To create a thickening plot

Left to your own resources

Nothing but deafening quiet

To forget your own name and the past that you had

Only to know the stories told by the griot

Starting from scratch like our ancestors

Becoming one with nature

It’s much lovelier than people

Out life would be easier with nothing to wager

    A poem that projects the virtue of nature and rejoining it. A pristine and idyllic quest hardly possible in todays world yet fraught with difficulties as well. The poem's dichotomy presents it as black and white well done
