AN IMBROGLIO FROM DUSK HOARDING DAWN IN MY ORIGIN – a poem by JOEL OYELEK IFEOLUWA.

Published by ArtingArena on

I
My country is a democratic mantra in imbroglio
That rapes goodness, molests peace,
Chastises orderliness, mocks oneness,
Glorifies chaos and spills bullets on the vulnerables.

II
Green – White – Green
Green – the greener pastures we all seek elsewhere
White – dusk that leaves us stained by the
blood of infinity victims.

III
My country is a bitter-sweet taste
How can I look up to the hills and see
My land flowing with rotten milk and spoilt honey

IV
Hope becomes like grief;
A language only the grieving understand.
If we expect a new dawn in this nativity;
It becomes the substance of things
hoped for – the evidence of things not seen.

V
So I bend my knees in prayer;
Sifting out light from this embodiment of darkness.
