In Hibernation
Put me to sleep
A very deep sleep
Without these dreams that are full of promises
Promises that are never fulfilled
The dreams that give hope for the future
And pose a risk to the unpleasant present
Those that make you feel like dreaming on
Wishing for a future that only lives in your imagination
But tomorrow remains the same.
“Every day begins a new chapter”
Guess the saying goes in contradiction
And am the only one left who believes in that
I will be patient enough
Not a word will gush out of this mouth
That is shut with heavy lips
I won’t respond to your secret conversations
About the neighbor with the neighbor
I will keep out from the false teachings
For these pinnae will be sealed
I will hide myself, from the mockery of the favored
And judgment for my skepticism
Keep me hibernated, and keep my eyes
From walking temptations in miniskirts
And I will plea to God for his mercy
I won’t mind awaiting His Kingdom in a comma
After all this is done,
When the prince is come
When the governments rest upon his shoulder
Then you wake me up.
Awake me when all this craziness is over
When Markovnikov reverses his rule
That is no more taking from the poor
Call for my name when brothers no longer slay brothers
When they come to their senses
And realise bones don’t bring wealth
And wealth won’t buy a grin
Verify with MBC that mother Nyasa’s face is elevated
And I shall answer you, I promise I will.
