The tricky Wordsmith
Treads about everywhere.
They tread about in every space
Making appearances with their
Actions and writings,
Speeches and preaching,
Signally to the people that they meant well
With so much clout that
Beclouds the real issues.
******
Beware! Beware! Beware!
Of the reputable Politicians
Who spin their tales during campaigns
With startling lies muddled with arrogance
Prominent mortals with selfish interest
They fail to deliver the manifestos content
Mendacious propaganda indeed
******
Beware! Beware! Beware!
Of the Charismatic on the pulpit
The Holy man dangling the Holy Book
They hide at the back of the creed
With the cloak of innocence
Quoting the creed for selfish gains
Mendicant monks of our generation
******
Beware! Beware! Beware!
Of the person next to you
The human race is an entire fallacy
Faces are masked and shielded
And beneath the façade of love and laughter
Lie a dark pain of betrayed hope
Betrayed trust and betrayed love
Perhaps, beneath this façade
Lie the crazy thought and urge for violence
To extort, maim and to kill
To kidnap, bomb and to terrorize
******
Beware! Beware! Beware!
Of the person staring at you
Whose second name is corruption
Dishonesty, greed, liar, deceit, pride
Jealousy, envy, hatred
Hmmn, radiating uprightness
And oozing holiness
At sunrise
But withdraws the innocent mien
At sunset
The same report
The same offence
The same guilt
******
Show me an exception
I weep for this generation
I weep for this human race
I weep for this rotten legacy
Except we retrace the misguided steps
And be the change we clamour for
And be the ones to make the difference
And embrace a world of truth
A world of peace and love
Love for ourselves
Love for the human race
We live on gun powder
Which will explode
With a loud bang

Haha! Thanks for the kind compliment. 🙂 Well, my heart is not so heavy in the real sense but I needed to detox my mind on the recent stories making waves in the tabloid. It’s so weird and pathetic how some people can be so gullible. And even so sad to read the pitfalls of *those in exalted offices* who claim to have the interest of a people at heart. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment. I always love to read feedbacks and yours have reminded me to deviate slightly and serve you, my esteemed readers more heartwarming vibes. Please come back soon for more cheery posts. Lol. Thank you very much. 🙂

This is beyond meaningful and from a place one has to understand. I like to hope these days that things will change and if not (quite cliche) I’ll be the change I want to see. I’ll leave the legacy I wish someone would have left me to strive for.

Thank you Cam. I hope everyone will imbibe the right attitude to change and live by example. The decadence in our society is so deep with no respite in sight. And to wish for change will be a futile hope if no one is willing to be the change they seek. It’s a collective responsibility if a visible difference must be made. Glad to have your voice here and I really appreciate your visit. Thank you. 🙂
