Futile Leaders

In crisis we swim Hunger for education has made us slim The beauty of dye was washed by rain From ignorance to ignored we leave by cain Solidarity of the heart some withstand the pain Minors relishing nothing from national cake Yet,stroked to make the the cake bake D realm of hardship By heart,bounty forsake Indeed, Man can't swim against the tide Needn't man run from d defamation of life guide? We just have to go with the flow Or take a sudden blow For breath in this region is not for the slow Quenching thirst with hazardous liquids Where idle divine water is seeking employment Zeal for success has kicked the bucket Murderers! Daggering dreams of d young Resulting to the Death of sale in a 'village' market Holders of democratic wand!! The land remains dry while u fill ur bellies Remember! Thy breath shall cease indefinitly And thy soul shall evaporate to be *JAMBED* And body shall sleep undignified

Adentunfi - Here is Cyndi's comment to which I agree 100%!----'This was my personal favourite write in the entire contest, but because it wasn't a kyrielle, we could not honour it with a high placement. Your poem is magnificent and each line held me... such a profound piece that merits more attention. THANK YOU for sharing this with the judges. I will ensure that I highlight this poem in my winners blog which I hope to write this week.. Your poetry shines'... Congratulations - Tim
