Every Where Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Every where
Every where
I see the cracks
In every fortress
That I built
These long, long years
That still remained to me
Every where
Every where
And I am sinking,
Sinking
Sinking.

I hear the boom
The boom of the guns
The flashing of the swords
The neighing of the airplanes
And I hear
And I hear
The enemy shouts
Coming near
And near.
And I am sinking,
Sinking
Sinking.

I hear
I hear the knocking
At the fortress door
I hear
The fortress door come down
And then
The enemy shouts – the wild shouts
Coming near
And near.
And I am sinking,
Sinking
Sinking.
