Power ripped away the expectations of posterity
Leaving the hopeless and powerless-
...
On the flanges of expertise and sheer intelligence,
This man stood and facilitated deals-
...
Like an arrow piercing through the night,
so was the pandemonium of doom.
...
This piece is premised on a true experience which has left many questions unanswered and I carefully dedicate it wholly to E.A. Taale for inspiring me to.........and just like Esther's one night with the king in the Bible, those few hours caused the sun to shine on a black brother.
...
As a man with a varicolored outlook to life, many are tempted to pronounce him, ‘the jack of all trades but master of none’. I would rather say that, he is but only a black brother cursed with myriad ideas and blessed in the same fashion with the spirit of imaginations. His proactive nature and the brilliance with which he approaches this whole concept of living, even spurs the enemy on to joining his league of supporters and admirers. He is like a bird in flight and the world, his for the taking...)
The Blind Deaf
Power ripped away the expectations of posterity
Leaving the hopeless and powerless-
Resigned to insecurity and inferiority
Feud is juxtaposed with greed
As myriad families-
Find it yet impossible to feed
Men are quick to justify-
But the objective of warfare
To the harsh neglect of-
The provision of a decent healthcare
An infant dies before his first birthday
Whiles teenagers fear-
But their retirement and old age
The arms of dreams are hard twisted
Rendering the thoughts of men-
Fragile and neglected
Brutality is cherished by queens and kings
Yet on their fingers,
They wear democratic bracelets and rings.
While we spit in the face of due diligence-
Responsibility is shirked with all meekness
And the sensitivity of the masses-
Wallow in a ditch of profound soreness
Mercy and empathy are both despised
Wherefore in the political realms-
Poverty remains under-priced
About the truth, facts are rumored
When under deceptive
and obsessed voices-
The ears of the weak are tutored
Selfishness is sewn in the air
And into the faces of disregard and impossibility-
Our women and children continually stare.
With a sip from the cup of supremacy
Apparently, authority suffers-
An immediate abuse
And the rule of law-
dealt an unflinching blow of misuse
Men kiss the feet of arrogance-
Perpetrate gravious horror
All in a sub-graded pretense
And yet, in the end,
We all feature in a roll of honor.
