What you saw was scary, yet beautifully rendered in this poem. Thanks for sharing Bamba Laye.

What I Saw Was


What I saw was
In the realm of hominal ego 
What I saw was
The egg rolling to reshape
Rolling on two limbs no, four limbs
 
What I saw was 
The hard rock embedded
Embedded in ways deeper than, a-hem
Deep in the sands of hominal mayhem
 
What I saw was
The egg pouncing forth
Pouncing on the hard rock to reshape
What I saw was
In the land of hominal indulgence
Was that the epitome of greed or lust?
 
What I saw was
The egg rolling in ways to reshape
Rolling to grab and form a new face
On limbs to reach the summit of mount greed
 
What I saw was
The rock dead in its shape
Smack in the middle of hominal anarchy.
Was that
What I saw?
