Spotlight Poem: Murderland — Ayomide Inufin D'great by Inuayo007: 3:50pm On Sep 13, 2022 |
The land is green, too green to incubate into maturity, a beauty to behold held in abject travesty; the theater where dreams die on the battlefield of reality, an island of monopoly; where a few eats the fruits of so many; & penury is placed in the hands of the majority, the dividend of democracy — a sheer inhumanity, the land is poison & survival is scavenging, this is murderland! A place where demons have dignity, & evil is given a safe sanctuary, immorality is a flawless anarchy, sinlessness in the society; skewed to suit iniquities, we speak but our mouths have become a graveyard, peace to the masses, belligerent against humanity, what is sympathy when sorrow is joy making mockeries? Consuming like an infection; the weakness of others is energy, this is murderland! Where the youths are vilified for standing against insanity, in here, seeking justice is like hunting for vanity; the blood of causalities are karma of national calamity, we share unending grief over the internet & that's where it ends, hence, treason is he who let the horrible truth vent, this is murderland! A habitat built around self; only to neglect thinking beyond self; a selfish sweetness that defines prosperity, & prosperity is how much flattery you get from the society, this affliction is a living organism in our system; originality frails, now we have to wear the pretence, the land is green, green enough to birth newness, brains & brawns of its offsprings can spring forth vigour, from a great mess to greatness, this is murderland! where we can put the past to rest; with a present time determined enough to wake up to a better tomorrow.
