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 |
