Legend

drink the waters of the Nile
you will return one day,
the legend goes...
as does so many others,
inundated by them
we are these days...
no one knows for sure
they cannot say
are they true or no
we be wondering...
the water of the Nile
I have drunk once
in my youthful days
not many more years
older can I get,
have not yet returned
nor do I plan to with the
world like it is today...
so much for legends say.
