An Interesting Poem On Amebo (gossip) by deezoneclu: 10:01am On Nov 04, 2011 |
The last poem i posted here on agony of childbirth received lots of applauds. This is another one. Here is an appeal to the busybodies who cannot just hold their peace. Wazobia – our nation – is filled with many of them and if you are one, please stop doing that and let your yes be yes. Moreso let your gentleness be revealed to all for the sake of yourself and your family plus the end is near.Actually i’m not one of them (laughs) but you know… God will help us all not to murmur. Again if you are on of them, i got you. Of generosity in absurdity And with plenteous words – baked In both the seen and unseen – served With words too fast to be trapped Say, she employs her talent exhaling hearsays “Have you heard?” She begins Flourishing in a neighborhood of idlers Like beget like; a colony erupts Fixing ears to the walls of Wazobia “I’ve not said it all…” She continues Pampering her soulishness and taking thoughts Self-pityingly of the penury of her speed She quickens, like the pedal of a sewing machine Flipping through chapters of public profiles “No…(coughs) Noo, ” She gallops Outstretched ears vibrate hoping to reconnect to server Sermonic echo booms – Let thy yes be yes and no, no Elongated hisses and floating curses fly back to sender Now, with wrappers re-wrapped Revealing an underlay of a checkered I-don’t-know That has suffered wear and rich in erosion They dispatch, each to her mission snooping from house to house Hoping to bring a harvest of sham words Don’t forget to leave a comment on my website www.davexpression.[co.[cc]. Would love to hear your view. Thanks |
