Like a flock in need of a shepherd <br />languishing on vagaries of life <br />open to attacks of predators <br />from all flanks a sitting duck <br />like the rudderless ship in tumult <br />tossed by the angry waves <br />wishing for futile serene moor <br />my people are like a hunting dog <br />that turns a deaf ear to its owner’s whistle <br />lost in the wilderness of inhumanity <br />becomes the haunted by vicissitudes <br /> <br />I am the easy mentor’s hoarse voice <br />like the tinny squirrel's teeth <br />that break the riddle of the kernel <br />come to me, sit down let’s reason <br />tear stained cheeks suckled sighs <br />a place in my bosom your recess <br />as the fearless shepherd boy hunt <br />with powers from above entrenched <br />a lion and a bear is equalled to a Goliath <br />seeking not yet repose in complacency <br />I come to rouse, funnel your hopes <br />that sprout on the stubborn rubrics <br />which made my kinsmen foragers <br />to nurture where society ransacked <br />to develop where greed underdeveloped <br />to bring succour to the down trodden <br />to beam a ray that has been prophesied <br />in the dark vestiges of resignation <br />where ignorance was once bliss <br />when the will yield followership thrive <br />when every one is an island of integrity <br />where conscience signposts our dual paths <br />there I will soon lay my life for you. <br /> <br /> <br />Written by <br />Dela Bobobee©<br /><br />Dela Bobobee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-easy-mentor/
