Deserted

 

Deserted

Deserted to death

From homes the fathers wrestled 

With vigor and pride

Running to no where 

To camps of refuge unsafe 

From herders that roam and shepherd with guns

Deserted by the man 

The man at the centre with might 

To the hands of raging grablers 

Running to death from death 

To disease that caught unaware in an epidemic 

For the home is unsafe 

The centre is unsafe 

The village is made desert 

For all are a prey to the bandit and guns
