Which Way?
St-Johannes College (Primary Section), Fang Ai Jou Pearl, Poetry: Group 2
The sun burns the sand,
The sand burns my feet,
The wind blinds my sight,
I wait for the night.
There is a dune far-flung in front,
Thus the excitement fills my heart.
But when I climb to its top part,
Sea of dunes is what I confront.
Which way should I go?
Does it matter now?
Tell me what I owe,
I give; let me go.
Rescue me, take me away!
Would anyone hear me say?
In this god’s forsaken place,
Who would hear my cries and race?
Is this how men should live?
Is this how men should die?
Why should all of us try,
If we were sent to die?
