Ifeanyichukwu

 

 

O the rock! 

On the beggared habitation

Where our destinies drift like smoke

Journey in empty promises

Sceptre after sceptre  

 

Do not query those stolen from independence 

Where lies their fate

Their destination is known 

Bones made dead from amalgamation 

Pavements along the grave 

Where music strangely sung

Played by fugitives 

Soar in soured governance

 

No respite 

No soothing

Nothing can be done

To change the tide of the sea

The ship has sailed beyond oblivion

    an emotive write, though bleak its wrapped tight with a thin veil of hopeful prayer, for an end to the suffering its depicts

  • Ifeanyichukwu

    Dear L. B. Mek,

    It is absolutely emotive. With no hope I'm sight to the suffering depicted, it is deliberate to capture it in the poem.
    Thank you for your appreciation.
