Race (free verse)
I toss across the surface of
the dust beneath the sun,
The ageless distance,
the limitless journey our
feet cover for the edge of
its abode for survival.
I move to the hand of time
unseen,
by the tick of the clock
that never wait for
the innocence of saint
and ignorance of slave.
Searching for the unknown
by the stamp of my feet to
live amid the heirs and breeds.
To quench my thirst by the
edge of the stream,
To feed my belly with ur
Shrubs,leaves and bread
for the energy that run
beneath.
I am race every man cannot
escape except the grave,
A place of no identity.
