Beat the DrumsA Poem by Echezonachukwu Nduka(Song of the brave)
Beat the drums
Let me dance My waist sways to your rhythm When my heart warms my fantasies I am the son of my father The warrior of my unknown fate I wrestled my nightmares to the ground And gave sight to my blind vision Beat the drums I am no loser The lion roars in the wild But devours not it's own I am my own strength I send my wrath to distant lands Like lightening flashing from dark clouds And thunder striking the enemie's camp Beat the drums I am courage My body breeds bravery And sheds off cowardice Those who pursue weak shadows Are driven by gods of insanity Cowardice makes their dishes And wipes clean their illusive ego Beat the drums I am posterity The future stares at my face And sends lucid lingering lessons We keep watch over our dreams We set ablaze our worries And bury our tenets in your rhythm Kinsman, drum me the drums of destiny. © 2013 Echezonachukwu Nduka |
