Do We Have Your Attention Now? Poem by cebolenkosi kubheka

Do We Have Your Attention Now?



Chit chat
Across the table
Made us inferior
And you assumed
The position of superiority.
Like a bomb
Ready to explode
You defused us.
We said a lot,
Brought a number of issues
to the table
But, your ears were absent
Your actions show
That you were not listening
Tears are dropping fast
Like incoming rain
goes down the drain
Promises are like babies
Easy to make hard to deliver
Where is he today?
The man who stood
Before us and promised
To take care of us,
Turning a blind eye
To our dissatisfaction and concerns
Are you still taking care?
of us, sir!

Now that the inferior
Group has rose
To superiority
Cars turned upside down
Burning slowly to ashes
Why do you care?
After all these cars
Were bought with our money
Now that your precious
office
Has been set on fire
You now want to negotiate!
Who put you in that office?
In the first place
We brought you to the top
As smart as you are
You should have known
We can also bring you tumbling
To your knees
Now that we have shown
A demonstration of our capabilities
Do we have your attention?
Sir!
