NPC Cypher: Compassion by JigsawKillah(m): 12:17am On Mar 12, 2016 |
** This is a cypher written by Nairaland Poetry Club (NPC) members titled "COMPASSION". Compassion is down the drain in today's world. We live in a selfish world where everyone thinks about themselves and neglecting others. Where is our Sympathy? Where is our Love? It is time to make the phantom called "Compassion" to be real again. This cypher is a blend of real life event and imagery describing the state of affairs in our dear country. Let us have compassion for one another. It begins with you! cc Lalasticlala 2 Likes 1 Share |

Jigsawkillah: Raised in the slums Where Cholera presides over Kwashiorkor is a tag on our sons Undergrowth, our daughters I sit and stare, weep for them Never for me, my case is heavenly Chicken once in a year Some of them never tasted it Yuzjet: I'd persevere in dark dusk With no rush, I'd only hope on luck Hood been so hateful, I'd give my all and make it useful No bond but I'd make it not disgraceful I'd make my domestic really favoured To all, not just for labourers Here I swear, I'd die for my neighbours In pains or agony, I'd make it my flavours Jigsawkillah: Lost my eyesight, couldn't pay for glasses No need to tell Dad, we barely have three square meals Couldn't see the blackboard, for that, I skipped classes A true example of one who poverty stole his skills But yet! My case is never the worst Evy sells paper bags, and starves to school She told me, I was short of words I wished I could help her, only wishing I could Donifez: A philanthropist heart Yet sin pulls the nation cart Sins of our father's Enveloping the atmosphere like fart Forgiveness without sin Dark lights never go dim I cry for my nation Stagnant - no motion. Jigsawkillah: Raised in a street, where young boys are deemed thieves Where the highest government is any from the military They beat you till you succumb to their lies, just to live A street, where truth, justice, fairness, isn't necessary A victim of the oppression, wished to set things right Wish I could speak, while everyone's in sight I fear for my head, especially in the midnight These guys force you to deliver intestines, midwives Donifez: Decrypting the nation vault Stealing without guns Children in deshabille No money to foot the bill Mystery unravelled in tents Fasting without lent compassion for hungry souls Hunger made them black as coal Jigsawkillah: Torn uniform, a sandal turned slippers She had compassion on me She, a Senior school French teacher When she caught me washing toilets I've lost contact since, I owe her a debt She partially took me off the street That's why I'll help people, till my death But I still can't help my family! Jeez! Donifez: Call the apothecary Stuff the drugs,let me carry Wriggling like worms Death is a norm Making ends meet Never ending, no meat Burial announcement No breath - annulment Sin no more White as sheet Out from the priest door Hustling till sheep's bleat Death from a metal Bullet the last medal Compassion is for dogs Always a thug Yuzjet: Cut my hands, injure my ankle Will thrive and make my hood not cripple As the pillar, will make it stand so right As bright as the tungsten light Street so teared apart Pretty best thing dried out of sight, scary? This is a fear that I'll have to fight Even if I'd do this for all my nights Jigsawkillah: Slave to hunger Everyday, Ramadan We eat in slumber By day, we fast We stay skinny Protruding tummies Mouth wide from yawning We look like mummies ******** 6 Likes 6 Shares |
