,..........Lost the old thread and it's painful but let me search through my Notepad if I can see the old "THE GREAT ONES" or the latest editon

THE GREAT ONES by George Adefemi


We are our own gods,...............................1
Small but also great gods
Lined-up to cast on them our power
to represent us at the tower

Yet! We are the great ones,.......................2
Protectors of our destiny
Leaders of the great ones
Determiners of our posterity.

The great ones are the prudent,..................3
The great ones,the indolent
Such finesse in pilfering,
As though enriching
The people in opposite order.
Sitting still to steal our wealth with perilous-pen penal on plebeian.
Look! Our ambassadors!
We hath endowed with greatness.

Myopic is you and I,.....................................4
Who exalts them with our eulogies.

Ambivalent to such abstruse behaviour of...5
these great ones in the past.
We do have conscience now
We were haunted by our wrongdoings
Protecting,promoting and covering what should have been exposed.

We are no longer gullible to thy course,.......6
No fear in praising thee with elegies.

Thou ask the air,whence cometh thy courage?..........7
We with liberty openly proclaim,
The Almighty hath opened our eyes like that-of a beggar who was born blind.
A mixture of clay with spittle and pronouncement,
Hath woken us to our calls.

Receiving such sight,cozy with courage,......8
We have hit a bull's eye
