Walking On Bleeding Blades By Akwu Sunday Victor by Akwu001(m): 3:59pm On May 29, 2020 |
Fresh fears Fresh tears The ones dried by the wind We thought would be blown Away forever We thought a forever of drums Drums of peace has begun But guns everywhere Drums of bloodbath Drums of doom Drums of death Banging Hanging on thin thread of hope We wail for sunburst With sunburnt tongues We wail to starlight Pulling strands of hairs on hairy hands To see if life flows in blood paths This is the tale Tale of throes Tales of woes told by tale teller We don't know what has castrated Our manhood Those whose tongues pulled Jonah out of the Ass Rock Now are dump and deaf buffoons I was one of them ranting Like drunken fools full of foolery I was one of the ranters I was one of the chanters Calling for Jonah's blood Now we have installed a monster More monstrous than any gogon mendusa We have ever seen or will see Now they have drawn tribal lines Lines of war between night and day Today we don't know where we are Today we don't know where we are Our lives are worth less than feather Of a sparrow and could be put out Like candle in the lips of the wind... |
