Poet Lover Appraise And Critize This Poem By A Nairalander by Horladipupo0505: 3:19pm On Nov 07, 2019 |
If I should tell you what I know
You may never think I know.
I know of a great city
That takes pride in the life of nonentity.
A city that rejoices in their history.
You may never think I know. An elephant nation Where politicians are celebrities Celebrated by nonentities They are protected by criminalities And supported by nonentities You may never think I know If I should tell you what I know You may never think I know I know of a place Where laws are mere valuable The soil are not valuable But the crown and their suckling are more valuable But the land is not valuable I lie in a city Where protector of life Stands as taker of life Like poor Uriah's life Which was taken by the King's hand You may never think I know. If I should tell you what I know You may never think I know I know of a place Where criminals are been celebrated But the heads are not protected But innocent souls are beheaded But corrupt crowns are elevated You may never think I know. And if the moulder can change the world. Let him turn the crown to the slave And give the serf the mantle I know it will never be the same. |
