The Last Monkey In Idanre by generaliy07(m): 12:25pm On Jun 28, 2015 |
You handed us the money bails Like the wilderness morning quails For such freebies we verily crave Though from such we couldn't save We felt so high with special seeds Indifferent to voices that calls it weed Though such are the illegal breed A special drill it made us feel Hail Ceaser, the thrilling teaser Nail the M*therf*cking stingy teachers For giving endless reasons to be sober In such seasons we'd rather visit strippers We crucified those sons of Issachar Sent afar the daughters of Deborah Neither times nor direction matters So we chased them beyond our borders Thy shiny teeth as revealed in broad smiles That sparkling golden glitters from several miles The sweetest words from your oratory rivers long as Nile Crafty accomplices of your deceitful styles Like a spontaneous lightening, short and gone Couldn't spell Jack till the season passed on Like a de-feathered bird, you asked for our guns From your pearly gates we were constantly shunned Then comes the seasons again when you consider us kings You brought us in, once more to drink At your most revered table again we sing To this merry moment you offer we cringe! Then your position as King you regained Throughout your reign, your promises you delayed Your empty promises on the streets we relayed Wretched we, not clueless as to why,though we were pained Ilufemiloye, the master at deceit is here again to campaign Little did he know this time the game has changed The enlightened,last monkey in Idanre is no longer in chains Smart ass ape, has full senses regained No longer shall we chant your name while matchet-wielding For now we've resorted to a much better living The "Ipanle" in us with rage we got flinging No more the war songs, songs of peace we're now singing ******************************************** This poem is dedicated to the repented ballot snatchers To those who no longer cherish the life lived as gangsters Though you once fought a war where you lost while the politicians gained Haunted by shadows that lived in your past A little decision to Change the man In the mirror, will set you free from the ugly scars I love Y'all Ilesanmi Iyanu Samuel (C) Copyright 2015 (2BA60123) Cc: Freeman (Please check this out, I look forward to your appreciation of this piece) Cc: Ishilove Lalasticlala 42 Likes 8 Shares |

I love this.... Reading again... Mate you remind me of the works of Gabriel Okara. I am very Happy you listened to my previous critique and made adjustment... This poem is musical, musing and radiating.. It makes a terrible situation looks pleasant with the choice of words... The caption is misleading which makes it a puzzle for the curious minds like myself. This is art Mate. Reading again... 7 Likes 1 Share |

Freemanan: To be candid, this poem is inspired by your corrections of my previous poem I had those points in mind while penning this God bless you bro. 5 Likes 1 Share |

By the way, I'm not a professional poet, I never did literature in school, just more of a natural thing, I will appreciate a link to the Gabriel Okara's works You can also suggest other masters of the game, I'll check them out Thanks once again 2 Likes 2 Shares |
