Lost In The Forest (An Original Poetry)

in The Ink Well4 years ago

This is a poem that I wrote to display the reality between the lack of love that has taken over a country, which sees them oppressing themselves instead of supporting each other for a common goal.

I was so gone that my subconscious played tricks on me.

I ran like a mad man as hunters hunted me.

It was dark, heavily dark. So, I couldn't see.

And my legs were becoming feeble as I hoped for someone to rescue me.


I could hear their chants like they're far away.

But I saw their shadows as I desperately searched for a way.

My heart beats even faster as I worry over my trails.

And the wild animals all watched from afar amazed.


I was lost in the forest, lost in my nation.

Hunted not by the wilds, but my my own people.

I barely could see through the thick inflation.

Even at then, my zeal failed to rekindle.


I see no love existing here.

Only greed is what I can find here.

The bulls have taken up the riches by its horns.

And we, being pests are left with none.
