Mike Duncan
Tallis Browne 1998 (Monrovia)
As revolutions pass,
The lame and unattended
Lay littered in coves
Coated with the rot of
Material and Wealth
Huddled for a last
Grasping of what may have been...
What then is the will of those who look down?
Not from the Pinnacles and Heavens
But from the trees.
Those with hardened backs who
burdened by routine take little notice
That the harvest has left no food to eat...
