A New Government Poem by Nkululeko Mdudu

A New Government

Rating: 3.0


NEW words will be discovered
To describe the horror,
Pain and strife

NEW cousins of Calamity,
Catastrophe, Disaster and Death

NEW laws will be made
To counter the loss of life

A NEW currency of tears
AN economy of fears

OLD nature's patterns will be the NEW
Curse of mankind

OLD prayers will be sung on highways,
Byways, in anyway the storms provide

ALL will need insurance
Against natural homicide,
Genocide, Infanticide!

Natural causes, or a Natural Curse?

I know i've been hownding you with comments recently but your good. very good. Albeit by my critique which is by no means expert. I am myself still a novice but I like what I read. You are a gifted writer and this piece is just another in a line of well constructed rhetoric. I reitorate... KEEP WRITING
