Kennedy Muitherero Poet Rhyme

Anatomy of the weekend

Off the workplace and throng the streets 
Flooding the city with our presence and fleets
We must make the most of this weekly stint 
Waiting not for conviction but acting on a hint
For the will to live the living we will 
Is but a wish expressed in a window of thrill
Trying to squeeze in things we could relish 
Throwing in many a sin and fetish
Living only once one too many times 
Guilty of sin but innocent of crimes
And herein is the cradle of many descends
In the anatomy of the weekend 

The onslaught on money and dabbling with debt 
On pleasure, on a bet, on a toy, on a pet
Trying to show those who don’t care to see
Trying to act what we dream to be
But who can see if we all want to be seen
Everybody out in their lustre, style and sheen
Things of which to speak throughout the week 
A talk not for the humble and meek
And it is sad to say of today’s breed
Their word and deed have no creed to heed
Whatever goes, they blend in with the trend
It is the anatomy of the weekend 

It seems you’ll get the most out of town
If you just a little let your guard down 
And far and wide cast your nets 
Magnifying today’s pleasure, diminishing tomorrow’s regrets
And this way we have far too long faired
Desperately needing to be repaired 
For we were whole gifts with a topped up token
But we broke, broke the whole and the broken 
Yet we blame it for being a cold world
For not a vile world haven’t you hurled 
For it’s pleasure you seek than to find a friend 
In the anatomy of the weekend 

K. Muitherero
