Listen! You had better be vigilant
Look! You hd beter be watchful
Caution! You had better watch your path
Silence! You could be the next victim

The sound of gunshots have made men dumb
The crippled ones have found new ways to walk
Even the unborn children have refused delivery
The roaming spirits have found peace in death

The cracks in the wall will tell stories of war
The birds will hum the danger they once saw
The stain in the river would warn strangers
The echoes in the forest will teach history.



Thank you for sparing your time to go through this. I remain your humble little boy.



I am @Illuminatus, I am a Nigerian and I am neither a terrorist, a scammer nor a spammer.

Beautiful lines ! Awesome poem !!

Thanks a lot

You are welcome my friend !

Hmm,what a beautiful poem.....a terrorist or scammer can never harbour such distinct talent....keep it up✌

If the movies are to be believed, terrorists can be really skillful people

you are very right @illuminatus ....but there is always a distinction....a terrorist can only work hard to be skillful on negative terms due to their determination. But But there can never be intrigued towards positive thoughts or skills.

Hmm. I think I agree with you when you put it that way.

Nice poem to have there....✌✌✌

The boss is back to poetry again...
This one fit crack neck..
Ose 👏👏👏👏👏😎😎😎😎

You kidding me. @illuminatus wrote a poem. This is good to know. I haven't even read it ooo. But I just had to gape at the fact that this is the first time I am reading a poem from you. I mean, I am so freaking used to the metaphysical, outta space thing you write. It's good to know you have some poetic channel in you.

Some people actually know me as a poet

Listen! You had better be vigilant
Look! You had better be watchful
Caution! You had better watch your path
Silence! You could be the next victim

This has to be my favorite part. I was tensed and I was really anticipating what was coming next. I have not gotten this feeling in a long while. Thank you for bringing it again @illuminatus.

Brief & Lovely.
Nice one there bro
