LAMENTS OF THE EARTH

A Poem by athena

An Elergy to Ogujawa Kingsley

We heard her
On that sombre night
We heard her voice
From the farthest woods
We heard her
Yes !
Her plaintiff voice
Breaking the bounds
Of the silent night
Her bitter grief
Bursting to shreds
The purple dome
Of her wounded soul
Yes! We heard her
Rachael
Wailing and weeping
In the twilight night
Mourning
The noble lots
Of her fallen son……….
