This Problem - Our Problem Poem by ernest hilary

Once I lived a life full of dreams
We all had dreams, this to say

Climbing this ladder for this cause
Alas! , that ladder, we all climbed

On the way I saw men, women, young and old
Until you whispered, hey! ,
Never did I raise my head to behold

Paddling through this river course
Fading away into the dark light
Those hopes, lights that welcomed laughter
Had all gone - gone away

Together we brought this curse on us
Together we toiled this land in hatred
Songs of war echoing around
Resorting to the dripping of water
Water, water everywhere - streams of blood

Where is the future?
The future of our children unborn

Only if we come together as one
Then shall lost hope be restored
And our problem be solved forever.
