Alive and Awake!

Alive and Awake!

A Poem by Sylvia Chika



He walked around

Observing

Viewing

Admiring

A beautiful city

So many new structures

A land of beauty

Things seemed to be working

Many great works in place

Machines so mighty

Machine creating beautiful things

Houses sky-high

He was amazed

Five years asleep

Five years of his life wasted on a bed

Five years of his life preserved by a machine

Five years he was lost in slumber

Warm and unconscious

Dead on the outside

Yet alive on the inside

This world had changed

Beautiful street lights

Long stretched roads

Youths so energetic

Everything seemed alive

He was alive!

Alive and awake!

Rid of the great slumber

Walking these street

Breathing the natural way

He got inspired

He wrote out a plan

All he wanted to contribute to this beautiful world

A plan to create his own world

He wrote the last word and dropped his pen

With a content look, he walked away

Away from the beautiful view

Away from the structures and beautiful roads

Away to create his own world

Alive and awake he was
