Debt Let Me Be Poem by George Alexander Ibeke

Debt Let Me Be

Rating: 5.0


The dead is mourning for the dead
Who will mourn for me?
When I am no more.
Who shall wail for me?
When I am still.

Who shall speak for me?
When I am dumb.
Who shall tell my story?
When I am gone.

To the land of no return
Where all are equal
The land of no honour
Nor title

The land where we are to
spend our better days
When it comes
What I know will despise me
For another

What I have shall run from me
For another
Those I have will mourn for me
For we are mere travelers
Covered with debt

Great poem. Rich in imagery and style. Wonderfully conceived. Everybody wants to know what will happen when he dies. Liked it. I rated it 10/10. Please read and rate my poem 'A bitter truth' on page 1.
