I Weep Poem by Omolola Oladotun David

I Weep



I weep,
Soaked and drenched in the tears of what I see

What my emotions tries to perceive
Yet my heart too little to conceive

Sometimes I wonder
Scattered and plundered

In my world of many blunders
Many questions I seek to answer
Yet my answers in silence I slander

Not because am confused
Nor because I refuse to be used

But because many before me have tried yet nothing
With little or nothing repeating itself as history
My question hence remains my mystery

Leaving me nothing but discoveries
One with many pictures yet no reasoning
Is this what I choose to see
Or what my eyes has chosen to keep
All but pictures with many fusions
One and all but tears for this future
A generation made and born anew
Yet with nothing but vague as clue
For this I weep
Weep for a nation soaked so deep
Drenched in its self destructive pit
