Dear Life Poem by Adorn Keketso

DEAR LIFE:

We find -
We lose
We lose-
We find
We fall from you
like when we fall from the womb
and sink to the tomb
like when we fall from sleep
to drown our souls in the grave six-feet deep



We're born from breath
to be asphyxiated by death
the same as when we began from the dust
created to be flesh
and from the flesh to perish
back to dust
It's a must!
'Ashes to Ashes'


Our begining was knoted on you
so do our ending
You are our Genisis
Our Revelation
Our Creation
and our destruction
Just like the religion
we created to divide our nation
You cracked from heaven
carrying a plague of fatal diseasess with a matrimonial hearse
infected us with death but in death
there ease
than in breath
there's no peace!
