Rampage
Let’s engage the minds gauge
Torque the imagination and take it hostage
Gouge the intellect with an over dosage
A ravenous binge
To my brain damage from under usage
Free the soul from bondage
Unburden emotional baggage
Forge a merge of love and rage with courage
Intoxicate paper with ink cartridge
A work of art on a page, a poetic collage
Like a soothing beverage
A poetic rampage on stage
Accumulate knowledge to reduce poundage
Of ignorance and information blockage
And salvage the tarnished image
A cerebral drainage to our disadvantage
Like the last spoken words of a dying language
A cultural power outage, a national outrage
A plague destroying a village
A confidential postage of information leakage
A sabotage of an adulterous marriage
In a society of average
That hemorrhages failure without stoppage
Skills in a shortage
The signage of a corrupt patronage
A camouflage of a failed brokerage
Education a privilege
We can use to salvage
And envisage a future of prestige
Expel garbage from the mind’s storage
Wage war with my conscience and cause this carnage
And ravage until there’s nothing left to salvage
A honesty challenge
Acknowledge my heritage
To retrace my lineage
Success a leverage
To use as excellent anchorage
A long walk of some mileage from a dark age
To pay homage to Mandela an iconic sage
And impart a message
As I indulge you with a poetic massage
