Parading the Unkempt

Countless in our days Of lives seize with easy. Alas! Guns off fashion For many of them Fathoms its symptoms. Enters the Polished clean hands Reddish with stabbing , Answers they have not. Dollars dump in bin In search of them With forensic eyes And better long nose To sniff out the doers. With fanfare, we welcome the Three wise men from white color above. A vote lost in confidence To them of our kingdom For ceaseless lives snuffed off We , to them . . . Is hiss of no confidence. In a while, the drama begins With impotent synonyms and faces The black men with rod unveils Parading them the unkempt Before our very eyes . . .screen Sown them a toga of suspects A little while off, Breeze blow it off rough And end comes for the drama. Alayande Stephen .T 6.14pm Tues, August 1st, 2006 It was packaged specially to appraise The incessant political killings in our land, With the piece emanating from the death Of Engineer Funsho Williams.
