Pilgrim

Pilgrim

A Poem by Abdul Batin Osman Bey
"

About always being on the move, also sorry for the color scheme at the time it seemed cool now a bit a lame.

"

I am the mover

Always in motion

My surroundings always a blur

A constant stream of image’s, noises, and faded places

I have no home

Born a rambler

Romany

One of the Ben Ishmael tribe

Moving, moving, moving

We are not meant to rest

 

Why?

Did you ask this?

You must know

The simplicity of it all is as such

This world offers nothing

We know this rock will never be our home

So we must move

Always moving

Keeping our ways in tacked

Never settling for the others

Never displacing ourselves

We are who we are from birth to death

 

Death brings us home

Death gives us rest

Death brings us to that place before our birth

 

Until then I must move

A constant pilgrim

A constant immigrant
