Apuna Rato Poems

Myself a farmer, I grow corn
On mine farm, I till hard.
Look my friend, those leafy greens;
Thinner the weeds under my corns
...

There is someone with the power
Over Heaven and the Earth
Someone who stand by you unwearyingly
Always at your feet through the years
...

I’m a patriotic; I abided the calls of motherland
I am good citizen and so risked my life.
I went deep into jungle and hunted enemies,
Burnt down the villages and subdued our rivals.
...

Ripened from the different pistil,
Nurtured at the different mountain,
We watched each other’s wings
Grow from the distance.
...

A glance over the road we traveled
Flashes myriad silvery memories.
Those shy looks and the sweet smiles,
Yeah silence spoke sweeter than words.
...

I caught a glimpse of your eyes
But new surges of desire,
Untamed passion and obsession
Was what I saw.
...

In quiet hours of night,
Away from daily preoccupation,
I pause and reflect childhood memories.
Those faint remnant memories when draw closer
...

I remember one summer morning
Me sitting in front of a big book,
A gift from a cousin brother,
Smiling and curious to unwrapped.
...

Teacher, whatever gift you have,
Teach the child and build an empire;
A dynamic empire bounded by
The seas of wisdom,
...

As time come to yank man of leaders,
Another greedy parasite smile with
Wild manifesto of another Paradise
By biting the hands that feed him.
...
