Death Knell



Weak and powerless is all I feel
Thoughts of freedom seem ideal
But breaking out appears unreal
Concrete walls, doors of steel

A pain that nothing heals
Secrets that darkness seals
Light and truth it also conceals
Its zeal to kill, it now reveals

I decide to give up the ghost
Around my neck I tie a knot
Hang myself to death. Why not?
After all, a will to live I’ve already lost

Soul in darkness, soul forsaken
Faith in doubts, faith shaken
Death knell, demons awaken
Ashes to ashes, my spirit taken

-Edwin Onyango
