Evance Ombaka Poems

Neath this mound of swarthy earth
Lies twined with roots and stones,
The vanity of my flesh and bones.
Say what you may of my life's worth,
...

I did much less than I was in need
Because I had by me a friend in deed
Until upon his door, not in jest
He left a note that said it all
...

For the world I wear a robe and a mask upon my countenance
I am not what i seem with the laurel upon my head
Within is a covert identity, a fettered and yoked slave
serving the despot within,
...

when the distance is long
and the will is no more strong.
The road seems just wrong.
...

Upon My Epitaph

Neath this mound of swarthy earth
Lies twined with roots and stones,
The vanity of my flesh and bones.
Say what you may of my life's worth,
But while I still had my breath in me
I was and would say, I am just me.
