This Den Of Hunger Poem is a nature poem on hunger. It is a movement to a new environment and trying to adapt to that serenity.
Sometimes you would journey to a strange land. A place you knew nobody from the onset. Den Of Hunger is that journey to a new environment where you encounter some setback which is of essence towards fulfilling your future dreams. Poem about Sweet Day for Her
To make life worth living, you shouldn’t be a one man, one town person but someone who travels widely. When you travel, you learn new things and make new friends.
Den Of Hunger
I came to a land
Land where I knew nobody
I came to a land
Land where my belly cried for food
I came to a land
Land where my heart is weak
For hunger is my daily bread of sorrow.
I came to a land
Land where I would earn a certificate
That certificate that will colour my life
And set me on the path to a lasting greatness
But before I inherit it
A true test of survival I must undergo.
Are you lost in Somalia?
Nor lost in Uganda?
Never consider Sudan nor …
Where inhumanity has reduced her brethren's
To a life of walking corpses
No, not am I, but lost in a land
That her name terrifies the mind.
I came, I saw…
Daniel survives the Lion’s den,
Hebrew brothers survive the flaming fire
This cup surely shall pass over me.
