THE WORLD ABYSS - Erhio Obodo
Just at the end of the rope
I sighted a green light
A flicker of hope
A possibility of flight
I refused to just mope
To give up without a fight
This shining green light
Had renewed my hope
Providing me with more rope
I fanned its flames
The smoke blinded me
So I called out names
Hoping someone would help me
The green light burned bright
Yet it eluded me
I fought the darkness with all my might
But vanities hindered me
I held on tightly to the rope
My last chance and hope
Looking to the east
I see confusion brewing
Looking to the west
I see trouble stewing
The south
Ravished and wrecked
