A Poem for Change! by homesteady(m): 6:34pm On Feb 14, 2015
This is my 1st poem ever, so it might not be perfect, but understand the message!


I WANT A DIVORCE!

¤ What significant thing have you achieved in our 16 years of marriage?
¤ Don't you know our union is already old enough for visible progress?
¤ Is it until our marriage gets to 1600 years before you become mature?
¤ Is it until all your mates get grandchildren before you man up?


¤ Every day and night, you share pain to everyone around you.
¤ Dose after Dose, Plate after Plate
¤ And you sleep so comfortable at night
¤ Jeez!! are you saTAN

¤ For the past 4 years, you've been boasting about your new farming skills,
¤ You promised the children and I, that we won't starve again
¤ But we keep on struggling to buy expensive food from our neighbours!
¤ Where are your farm produce? where are they?

¤ Jide, Musa and Chike have been at home more than they have been to school,
¤ It's either you don't pay their school fees,
¤ or you are fighting with their teachers
¤ While their younger cousin - Appiah, has graduated since!

¤ This is the 16th year since you promised me electricity,
¤ Yet, our children still use candles to read at night, we hardly watch TV!
¤ Sometimes I think it's impossible for electricity to be constant,
¤ But My younger brother - Mandela has constant electricity in his house!

¤ Boom Boom!! Pa Pa!! this has been the most popular song for 4 years now!
¤ Death dances to this music, and it forces everyone around to dance!
¤ Fathers, Mothers, brothers, sisters, crops and animals all destroyed!
¤ Is it until the children and I get destroyed before you act?

¤ Hey! stop staring at me like that!
¤ Okayy, we had some good times together,
¤ But can those good memories wash away the pains of your recklessness, irresponsibility and stark, daylight wickedness?
¤ Can it heal the injuries caused by your neglect, selfishness and constant torture?

¤ Henceforth, I - Mama Nigeria, say no to crying my eyes to sleep daily!
¤ I say no to playing the good, naive wife to a useless husband!
¤ I say no to staying under this rusty, leaking umbrella of yours!
¤ I want a Change! I'm getting a divorce!!!!!

The poem is not poetic and connotative... You had only one thing in mind and that is to discredit someone.. This is a poem I wrote few minutes back ...

It just came back
That awareness of me
The pen grounded to write
of words that are paramount
One in parallel with thoughts


Pasting this just to indicate I understand the genre of literary composition, at least to decipher one that can't be given the tag 'poem'..

GOODLUCK!

Poetry is not about use of elated words to tell how we mean but how we feel. A good poet does not need to engage the use of confusing connotative words just because he does not want his meaning sorted almost easily.

ofcourse, one is not on a mission to get the audience discombobulated, but what especially makes a poem standout from other literary genre is the more connotative sense embedded in the writing or tone itself.
