Passage Of Every Colossus

Rating: 4.5


Orogbonu was enchant
Mothers dance in bliss
They sob out 'Egbe or Ego'
As the case may be
On birth all men are non descript
None can tell who is blue blooded
Time dissolves and flies
Year chime like sixty minutes
Keeps going up and never comes down
Yester- year preterite wouldn't repeat
Experience conquer the future
Many live not to see a new day break
Life is of such- toddling, piggybacked, crawling, walking and grizzled.
Pung as the grey hairs appears
Life here is a nine days wonder
Today, you speak wisely, some days are coming
As time dissolves and year fade out
You would gibberish on words
Looking at the corners of the walls
Calling on your fellows
Who are no more
Yelling to your ancestors in afterlife
At this time, life is faith that looks through death
