Down The Lived Years Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

We'ved lived through the years
Ploded down human time lines
Times etched in love, war 'n tombs
Born with experinces yet lived
Seemingly knowing that death aint conclusive

Peering down human stories
Wherein wife 'n life rhyme perfectly
Childbirth signals the beauty of life
For the dying fear for the living
And the living blame it on the departed

Flipping through the pages of time
Love, greed, pain 'n war
Blooded pages the evidence thereof
Of the educated n' opulent civilisations
That were raveged by the jungle
