All Lost in search of life
Benard Otieno 1994 (Nairobi)
We’re out; today or tomorrow,
Weary in search of a dish,
All lost in the desert of life,
Simple Life tossed like a coin,
Life with double chances,
Sunrise we’re up; sunset we’re down,
Today we breath, tomorrow we’re numb,
Life that favours the dumb,
All lost in search of greener pasture,
Pastures that make cattle fat,
Perhaps all we should do is feed and fart,
Lost in thoughts:-
I wish is our fate; I will is our future,
All lost in the desert of life,
Desert without shelter; we burn from sun,
We want life to shine ; with no burning sun;
All lost with desire; desire for coins,
Many coins; many noise,
We long for peace ; still feed on pieces,
All lost in search of life.
About this poem
The poem is about how People make alot effort to achieve success or any goal in life and it's all vanity and we tend to lose humanity and love inside us while we struggle to win in life. Instead all we should do is to live a simple life And maintain the principles of humanity.
