I Am Mad! by ubany(m): 12:01am On Mar 25, 2023 |
************** AM 'MAD' ***************** The reason why mad men go naked I do not know All I do know is that, the sight of them reminds me that am mad . The truth about this fact was hidden from me from birth Until the first hair growth on my pubic region My kinsmen forgot to whisper this truth to my ears On the day of my naming ceremony. They were only interested in drinking liquor, eating kola and dancing to the Ogene music They left me to discover this truth myself How this truth escaped the memory of my parents is what am yet to fathom . Or could it be that, the midwife that delivered me forgot to tell them too ? Am mad and nothing in this world matters to me any more save my paper and pen Today is my father's funeral I want to join the funeral procession I want to pay my last respect to him But I've been indoors since yesterday Wrestling with my paper and pen Don't cry for me because am mad Reserve your tears You'll need it when your father join his ancestors Don't call the priest to pray for me He too has his own madness to deal with Just leave me in my self imposed solitary confinement Until my pen bleeds on this pieces of paper Just leave me in this empty room of mine until the twin spirit of wole Soyinka and John p. Clark torment me to death Am mad with poetry And have been confided in the mental asylum of life © Nnamdi Nwaubani 2021 #lines_and_verses_of_the_minor_prophet Like my page on facebook : Lines and verses of the minor prophet
