Prof Koffi Awoonor.....poem Of Memoirs by lordthunderbolt(m): 10:42am On May 05, 2015 |
Hey! Pacy hunter I thought you were my brother You are dark like 'our' mother Should I be afraid of this banter? Awoonor! Awoonor! Run like the panther The earth is really a peaceful matter No longer afraid to hold your anger Embrace the friendly hunger They could gloat for whatever wickedness This killings in Africa is too mindless Is this really poverty or illiterate redress? Religious or political harness? Al-shabab!!! You have murdered Scattered and plundered All those you have angered Families weeping the unfathered All of us will someday kiss the earth There is always a redress on your death Which I'm sure one day, will be red You will be laid on a burial bed We won't breathe the dust forever If you scatter pellets, will it be forever? There is a season to lose, evil diva Sullen act of wickedness on a lame river All of you together is a shortage to Awoonor Kenyatta and Mahama is it yet uhuru? Sun of shaka Zulu Smile on us! Forget this shabab burrow Who has nothing to offer our world But deceit of religion on a defenceless mall Women and children buried in a hall Writing long history of hatred on a cold wall And painted our Awoonor on a graffiti Bragging infamy for countries to writ To mourn a man who went to read wit Covered in emotionless wreathe Our earth is stained again Awoonor This religion is a provoking donor Of grief instead of honour What did we get? Bloodied Awoonor Legacy has been stained again What is your gain? For gunning defenceless men in a rain... Just to gloat? And inflict pain Rest in utopia with the utopians Cursed remains those fallopians That bore those barbarians May they all die in defiance In memory of Prof. Koffi Awoonor |
