Answering To Please An Ear

“Did you understand The Narrative?” And I answered in The Affirmative. But it was a lot sugared and inventive, What should’ve been kept and left ‘Native’ For a society still Helplessly Conservative With her applause for stories of The Summative … “And did you enjoy The Narrative?” I made sure I said ‘Delicious’ in a voice penetrative But in my mind had A Crying Alternative I thought worth treating as Imperative For our Youths in the eye stared by The Formative And often dying to appear assertive … The Understood and Enjoyed Narrative I knew I wouldn’t delay its purgative, All these while answering to an ear please And clogged nostrils deny a sneeze.
