Poor Man’S Nectar

By Shawayne Dunstan

Dying of thirst
while trapped in
the belly of the beast,
I pray to God that my breath
doesnt falter in the scorching heat.
I stumble around helplessly
as my world crumbles due to the pressure.
Skeletal trees and tumbleweeds call out to me
as I keep searching for the forbidden nectar.

Acknowledgements

for my family and friends

i say love

because the world is filled of too much hate

but i know you’ll be there for me

and one another despite all the countless walls

they desperately want to create

for the children and youth

throughout my community of Malton

i say dream

because your ability to think bigger and create

will set you free from negative opinions

that are eager to shroud

i believe that you’ll all achieve incredible things

once you put your mind to it and aim for the clouds

for myself

i say hope
