A Poem: And So It Happened.... by Gentlebabs(m): 11:00am On Aug 15, 2019 |
Alone in the sands The fields was yellow It lost its greenery What could have happened? Make haste, get the soothsayers Even the palms They swayed not Not that the beauty was lost But in their dance Lies that Sweet sound I could see the cloud Far from thence This mystery we must solve A puzzle we must demystify As the pride passed by The King followed behind Abomination! A Lion King leads from the front Whatever caused this blackness Surely permeated his kingdom His pride was hurt Let's call the wise one Suggested the Mice For the King speaketh not Like a sprinter he arrived The wise old Tortoise Only him has the answer He conjured; poured wine That their king may live He made several atonements To the lords of the night Then his offering was accepted The secrets were revealed I have seen him fight But today, it is not by strength He has lost his Queen The Queen of his heart Who can atone the Lion King None! And just suddenly Her heart belongs to another But how can he fight When he is disadvantaged How can he fight When he is seen as a weakling He had lost his pride Where do we go from here? The wise one said Like a well rehearsed song All chanted in solidarity Forward! Fall eight times, rise the night And so it happened The pride of the King Has just fallen for another None can appease him But in him lies greatness For surely, he will rise again And who knows, just maybe He will find love again It never happened before But the Lion King cried Who will clean his tears? Who? Babatunde Raimi (c) |
