"Colombe" Poem

For this assignment, I was supposed to write a stanza of a poem that followed the form of Kamau Braithwaite's "Colombe". Here it is:

I

once walked up

A mountain, to see what I would find

I saw ships, seas and flying machines

From every age, and

Every Time

T

ools of war from empire' past

All rusted and burnt out

Hulks, Trojan horses tanks and guns

I sat and started to

sulk

God ask-

ed why I was crying so

i turned to him and said

"These ruins of man for struggle and trying

Whats the the use if they're all dead?"

A testament to the glory of man?
