A Hard Road in Eritrea


Poem Artwork

Hard Road

It's a hard road ahead and you know it.
It's a hard road ahead and you show it.
It's a hard road ahead, blood's gonna shed,
so get in your boat and row it.

The crop’s in the field, so grow it.
The crop’s in the field, better stow it.
You'll never need to know to know it.
The crop’s in the field, so don't blow it.

The time is right for the pruning.
This is no time for swooning.
No time for blue mooning.
Time to set sail for the soon.

And sing a different tune.
Before the road aligns with the rune.
Spit in your spittoon and get going.
The crop’s in the field and it's growing.

It's a hardscrabble road to heaven.
And you won't pass any 7-11.
So gear up your ass and step on the gas,
it's a hardscrabble road you are given.

The problem to solve is a puzzle.
That can't be written with a muzzle.
The freedom of speech should outreach,
the hardscrabble life of the muddle.

It's a hard road ahead and you know it.
So hop on your shining steed and show it.

Hard roads. Opportunities for mere mortals to excel. To grow and reach out. The easy roads are for those lacking the lust for life. Hard roads, bring them on. I've traveled them my entire life. Seldom by chance. Good write Ron. Jon Michael Willey

This could apply to a lot of things - but with lines like: "...the crop's in the field and it's growing" - we need to remember how hard it is to turn policies around (personal or political) once they start sproutin' - nice work
best ahead all the same - Michael

A hard road ahed for usre...election time and everybody suffers. Our soldiers in the field are the ones being abused by us. Let's all get our asses in gear and let's start at the top!

Love and blessings!
