Where death is certain
and strife is brief,
We journey,
hopelessly live for death,
like the man born of a woman,
who hopelessly searches
for death’s love.
We dwell with temptress,
as dawn fades
and the hourglass drains.
We hope for a never-coming tomorrow,
like the lazy ‘eye Ọkín’
that waits for tomorrow
to make its nest.
As the dust beckons,
we wend into eternity,
and wish yesterday
was here again.
