Teslim Badmus Poet Concrete

Mother In the Cage

SHE SHOWN UP
AS BRIGHTER AS DAYS
SEARCHING FOR MEANS
TO CALL IT A DAY
FOR HER FAMILY
FAULTLESSLY ENCOUNTERED
THE BIG ASPECT OF LIFE
HEREAFTER SHE WAS GAOLED
FOR AN OFFENCE NOT COMMITED
JUSTICE CLAMOURED FOR
THE AFFLUENCE
THEIR HANDS ARE THERE
WHO HELD UP THE CAUSE
SHE SCREAMED UP FOR LIBERTY
AS CRESCENDO AS VOLUME OF VUVUZELA
IT WAS HEARD
ALAS THE EARS ARE DEAF
THE JUDGEMENT WAS PROCLAIMED
IN THE FAVOUR OF THEY
AN INNOCENT WAS PROXIMALLY CAGED
