The Palmwine Drunker by Foxybone(m): 8:36am On Jul 16, 2012 |
SACRED ROSE THE PALMWINE DRUNKER Hmmm my head spins from its base Hanging slightly from a frail neck My legs stagger from underneath itself For the earth quakes under me My eyes sees the vision of doubles Everything whirling around strangely before me I try to laugh but it aint coming For the hiccupping is really something to contend with I just can’t believe that I am drunk Palmwine flowing from the sacred trees Sacred Sheyz being the tapper Relished it I did for I love it Pumping in my blood with the yeast spreading My countenance changing with every single sip For the strength of my manhood lies therein “Sheyz bring one more keg” That’s my voice blurring that I can’t even comprehend Should I say I am wasted…. For palmwine has done the worst to me But to stop it is like dying in itself…. Haha…. I must drown all my sorrows in the keg Hills…. My sorrows compound for you The election is here and the votes casted The people all like you but there is a rival Come drown in this alcoholic ocean Then arm yourself for assassination Send Index to the great beyond…. For this affair is a do or die Funny I am ready to die with you…. There goes my precious Ola Battle ready, fire burning in her eyes Rock steady she will always be Ready to battle the females to cliché my love Fear not for at your palms my heart sleep Awaiting the day you will drive your blade through it…. Yes Ola… for the oracle has spoken Heart break will befall the man the gods have chosen for you… Could that be my Friend Omoisi The one we went hunting together…. Coming back limping after facing Ebiote For his strength is childish matched to hers Could it be his third limb is weak Surprised I am for he is a youth… One of our most feared warriors But alas a warrior he is in Pen but not in bed Well, come take Alomo…. For your sleeping giant it surely will wake…. The voice of the people rings in your head Discomfort lies the head with the crown But favour from the gods follows you… For Destiny now does you bidding O sacred Sil….. Watch for the sunning is rising on you And the crown is coming your way in no time Yes the Sacred gods have spoken The message transferred…. Do the bidding of the gods O SILHOUTTE….. Words from the keg…. Sacred palmwine of the sacred kingdom Blurrish but yet followed…. Spoken from the drunk mouth of Sacred Rose…. Heed thou… For a drunken prophet is risen…. |

The thoughts that runs in the head/mind of a drunken man. I enjoyed reading your work, but i was taken unaware by the third paragraph. To me, that paragraph was un-called for. |

Thats the mindset of the people.... Not my fault I wrote it like that... I was surely under the influence of ALCOHOL wen I wrote this poem.... In fact, I typed it on my PC..... No editing.... I wanted to see wat it will luk lik when I become sober... So don't put the blame on me but on the Keg of Palmwine I drank..... @Goldie |
