Eye


Am blind, but see beyond the end,
where the beginning of the primordial
porridge lost its meaning, yet came to be.

- Have seen men gather before me
in shining armour to meet death at my feet.
Dust to dust...dust to dust,
here, where kings unearthed,
are robbed of treasured
sleep's pleasure.

- Am deaf but hear the whispering
of the golden sand
before the green earth.

- Weep, grains of war
sting eyes once cleansed by rain,
marked by secrets within.

- Am the star on the horizon
without a flame to light
the darkness in a new beginning.

There is some culture in Germiston after all.

Good poem. Here I see regret of past aggressions.

Points 4 - Pretty close to perfect. I was captivated
