Gong Of Choice Poem by udoh etido

Sorrow and grief;
follows the one with no sheath;
You climb upon the hill;
to know nature's will.

You sojourn so far;
in search of the light;
Rest not day and night;
flee from evil path.

You've chosen your way;
You've chosen your say.

I will laugh and smile;
the elephants do not smile;
Your misery is upon you;
The evil gang is near you.

The olives are still fresh;
seek for your recompense;
The clock ticks with no reverence.

Seek and ascend;
You were once the elect;
Seek and ascend;
you are now the reject.

Seek and ascend;
for every Heaven, a Hell;
Seek and ascend;
climb the tree of respect.

My truce holds no ground;
yet we stand as mortals;
My love is rejected;
return to thy farmstead.

Seek and ascend;
quit the pretence.

Seek and ascend;
a Lion shares no semblance
