Melodies of Shame

Blind senses of my soul keep on protruding in my mind Pop,pop, popping inside my head hot tears flow down my cheeks as silent words shout unsung songs silent hymns dominate my erect eardrums Minds are blinded, notches of heavy hearts misled as the intellect produce Havoc, Havoc of no purpose at all And the young buds slip down the slippery road the road to destruction taking with them our discordant dreams as sachetted whisky rule their blood streams current affairs,poison to their ears daylight snatching,songs that entertain their null heads as their mental intellect stays chaste when the royals on the hill shambles their produce while fake smiles swallow their sweat and a cough they produce not though they are sick and ill minds they have condensed emotions they have frozen and click,click, a lock locking their naked hearts in cages while letting their intellect rot and their futures stuck a deliberate conception of no words is it choice, fear or mere humility? That they sniff a fathers dangling pseudopod snatching the innocence of sisters pride? And zip their loud toilets? That they see a brother in the streets and fail to drop a coin, or even a shirt? When will you take the wheel youths of Malawi? To steer the ship to other tides? To take a sober leap of leadership that will transform the poor land? Melodies i sing- melodies of shame
