Answer: The sea was like a rippling blanket of brochure-blue. Squabbling seagulls flew overhead, harassing the beachgoers in their endless hunger. Gannets were dive-bombing the stretched surface of the sea far out from shore. The horizon was edged with a silver tint and a cormorant was flying into that place where sun and water meet. His wings were a blur of motion and he soon faded from sight. The opera of the sea washed over me and the wave-music was welcome.
Because life was boring and basically meaningless
The analysis of the poem "The song of the women of my land" by Oumar Farouk Sesay is-
The poet Oumar Farouk Sesay says that the women in his time used to sing songs whose lyrics represented the hardwork that they suffered during ploughing of land, the pain they suffered when they were treated as servants, handcuffed and ill-treated.
The song represented the pain, the love, compassion etc. The song represented their way of living and the history of time they saw.
But now all those women were dead and the song and lyrics were gone. They lyric were now used by local poets and singers. The voice of the song was dead now. The song was no longer comforting.
