Lamentations Of An Old Man Poem by Kimani wa Mumbi
Lamentations Of An Old Man
I'm aged; I'm a bark in a tree.
They peel me off; I grow bark again.
My back has doubled,
Almost somersaults when I walk.
My chest has caved in,
My cheeks hollow,
My eyes ghostly.
I'm long in the tooth, literally.
My people hate me. Will I survive?
I will move on.
Maybe to the world yonder.
My children care none.
Grandkids laugh at me.
I will survive.
I will move on -
Till they call me yonder.
