Poem Of The Season: WISHY WASHY by iJhoe(m): 5:40am On Jan 28, 2018
WISHY-WASHY
Tell us more of what you think you have up there,
Mr. Wishy Washy.
From all the world of imaginations,
You can build aroun yourself.
Only you seem to know it all.

You told us;
There is a revolution to come.
You reminded us of how much,
We have suffered and endured,
In the time pasts.
But, we forgot to ask you,
When and what is to come.
And enquire from your running mouth,
The possible attractions in your project error.

As expected and quite intriguing.
You delivered your soft and hard promises on us nicely.
You make them lack no shortage of grim examples.
i must say,
You have a mouth, full of words.
Who will contend with you?
You are a master of such arts.

Even though,
Just a few of us know that,
Your failure rather than success is very imminent.
And that even, if you win,
You have said so much,
That you will have to defend and deny.
Would you not? Mr. Wishy Washy,
Of course you will.

Wait! to us,
You mean revolution?
revolution in your addle brain.
What a joker!
Okay! tell me,
Which of these revolutions:
Mercedes revolution,
Panda revolution,
Cash revolution,
Green revolution,
Jet revolution.

You have said it once,
Twice have we heard.
That in your name,
Food must be put on our table.
That must be manna!
That also,
All kneels must bow,
To wow at your magnificent edifice.
And in your power,
Seven strapping angels,
Will guide you in your rollercoaster.

You must have thought that,
You brooded atlantic impressions on us.
So that we will be at your heels,
Begging and desiring your every bits.
You'd took tall tolls on us;
And use us to score cheap political points.

Those days are over,
We now have a sleep awakening attention,
Partly closed, but widely informed.
You gave us this caveat of awareness,
Mr. Wishy Washy.
