I woke up some few days back and was wondering about some stuffs I was involved in before I left OAU, then I remembered the words of the poem, Is my team ploughing. Its about the questions asked by a dead man, about the events happening in the world he left behind. It was one of those poems I learnt way back in secondary school, I recommend it to anyone having nostalgic feelings, here is the first stanza:
Is my team ploughing,
That I was used to drive?
And hear the harness jingle
When I was man alive?
A. E. Housman (1859 - 1936)
British poet and classicist.
A Shropshire Lad, XXVII
