When Passion Burns Poem by Tony Adah

When Passion Burns



It is still
Time to laugh
When we labour
Like a donkey
When passion burns
Brightly only in our own heads
And the night goes on
Without sleep
We are derided-
Drib and drab achievers
Something, something.....warmers
When passion burns
And its cinder piles into gold
We are applauded
With accolades fit
Only for the king.
