Dead Men Walking Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Dead Men Walking

Rating: 5.0


They seek human approval
They are pleasers of men
They seek human applause
They seek human praise
When humans show disapproval
they cower in shame
When humans criticize them
they wallow in self pity
They are dead men walking.

They put their trust in human beings
they are cursed by God
They worship influential men
They are cursed by God
When these men they trust die
their hope evaporates
They are cursed by God
They are dead men walking.
