Lone Ranger

Israel Chinonye Uche 1957 (Aba)

Free verse
Never did
I supplicate
to be born
into
this world.

In this
world
found I myself,
a lone ranger
sailing
alone
in this world
on the roughest
 sea.

Here
am I alone
at sail:
tormented
and tortured;
buffeted  and bullied
butted and taunted
by the ugly sea.
When
to find
quietude
know I not.

About this poem

Life, like a cube,has many faces ; we see it differently, from our own peculiar perspective.
