Vagabond Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

Vagabond



In the valley of ignorance, wisdom looks down from atop the mountain of knowledge
Fools wander from mountain foot to mountain foot in search of tomorrow
Late the skies smile and early they frown
The flood of depravity and disease sweep through the valley floor
The bones of those who only yesterday were fat, and round lay strewn on the floor
In memory of fools who thought much about themselves forgetting the rising of the sun.
