Echoes of Kettledrums - Samuel Onyeche
Poems by Samuel Onyeche
Has Death Not Taken A Step Too Far ?
When death visits a farmer's barn
Spares the yam
Spares the maize
Spares the millet
And hugs his pregnant wife
Has it not taken a step too far ?
Has it not sting the bag of flesh
holding life and hope ?
Should we not confront him
with tongues full of questions ?
Should we not look him in the eye
And pin our pains therein ?
Do we not deserve to know
Why death waits at the end of the tunnel ?
At the glimpse of our long waited
Enjoying the preview?
