The Time To Talk by olanshile2016(m): 11:09pm On Mar 16, 2020 |
THE TIME TO TALK By Olanshile Olalekan Shall we, at this moment Do away briefly with the pinging phones Can we, for the meantime halt The prattles, banters and hilarious comics online To reminisce and have a candid confabulation On the heart-wrenching manner, we live. Can we have a matter-of-fact conversation That calls for sober reflection. So if you happen to be a willing discussant Take a seat and let's talk Let's talk about the debased era of humanity Where fellow humans are ostracized Marginalized and victimized, On the basis of ; Colour, race, religion, Sexual orientation and gender. Let us talk about the religious fanatics, Bigots and the monomaniac extremists Who have, since long ago, said goodbye to tolerance And chant passionately, "death to adherents of other faith" Letting it slip from their memory The fact that we are all human Before beliefs set us apart Fellow discussers, Let's also talk about the greedy capitalist Who, in the quest of satisfying their insatiable avarice, Have become monsters with no milk of humanity They profiteer from wars, viral diseases and Sales of harmful illegal drugs Do not let us forget To talk about rogue government officials Who are only interested in stashing the nation's commonwealth In foreign bank accounts They are insouciant to the numerous woes Of the people. They loot with reckless abandon While the nation groans and languishes in austere Let's also talk about The revered people of the pulpit Cloak in the garbs of the saints Preying on the poor congregation And persuade them to be steadfast For their reward is in heaven I wish the whole days is ours So we can talk about the dysfunctional world we live in And the normalization of Bizarre abnormalities But we are preoccupied with many commitment Including social media Where we 'lol' away Any attempt to initiate A frank tete-a-tete But I'll keep the hope alive That one day We shall sit under the Large indulgent full yellow moon In communal of brotherhoods And that will be the time to talk. 1 Like |
