Duet ' THE SILENT LIFE '

My life is quiet like the sun,
barren branches she bears,
tattered and scattered,
shattered in despair.

Life has played me,
holding me with a dangerous hand,
rocking me in a wonderful stand,
pushing me towards the night's moon light .

Even the night's moon light
compared to my silence; is noisy,
noisy like bunch of crickets,
crickets which chirp while it's eventide.

Life buried me underneath
with absolutely nothing to gain.
Perhaps in time i will be strong
for silent life is not my favorite song.

 Udueyin & Osinachi

These two bards employ various poetic device to lament over the hardship of life which has made them silent and unready to talk. Yes they believe life will give them the goals they desire.
