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.
