 </div><p></p>What if my words drag me
<p>Into that jungle of forgotten souls<br>
And my intuition is clinched upon the castigated tree,<br>
Would you drown in sympathy?</p>
<p>What if my fortitude was stolen and strangled,<br>
Replaced with misery and torment upon your spirit’s vision,<br>
What if my words deny me,<br>
Handing me over to the fragile gods<br>
Whom I have adorned their names in mockery,<br>
Will you cry for me?</p>
<p>What if the night could only stare<br>
As my life is burnt with departing flames,<br>
What if I cure the thirst of the gods<br>
As my blood is littered on defiled dusts,<br>
Will you groan in disbelief?</p>
<p>I urge you, do not cry<br>
For I saw the disastrous future strolling towards me<br>
With a dagger dangling on her neck<br>
To behead my spirited soul, what then did I do?<br>
I never stopped, I kept fighting,<br>
Inscribing stinging words upon scrolls<br>
Going on a voyage with the winds,<br>
I traded fright and anxiety for bravery, a friend of death. I can see,<br>
I only chose to be blind.</p>
<p>Yes I am blind, I don’t wanna see<br>
What’s the use of those eyes sinking in bloody tears of their lineage,<br>
Still, taking refuge under shadows of the swollen sockets?<br>
Tell me why I should live with a fatigued tongue<br>
Which only laments under that shawl of dumb lips?</p>
<p>I beg you, let me die, not to be a warrior,<br>
For I’m certain you shall wrap my names in oblivion,<br>
But I won’t regret.<br>
For If I die unifying blacks, I shall dine with gods<br>
In peace under the sacred shrine of serenity</p>
<p>Let me die, do not cry<br>
For I shall take refuge amidst the african ghosts<br>
Slaughtered without a reason,<br>
For when I shall look down at status of blacks,<br>
I shall smile and say…I do not regret dying.<br>
Do you chose to die with me?</p>
