Some days sink our spirits <br />Sombreness and gloom dog our heels <br />We sigh in the evening <br />Sick with melancholy <br /> <br />We struggle against the bulwark <br />Askari's breastplate serves us for shield <br />The healing of our souls <br />Will bring relief <br /> <br />Sparing a thought for Harmattan's glow <br />And the hills above our heads <br />We see the birds as they call us to join <br />Their spirited flight <br /> <br />Lekeleke is our crony <br />We call to her in the sky <br />Give us white fingers we say <br />And we will give you black.<br /><br />samuel nze<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/some-days-sink-our-spirits-2/
