Sold Out Lilies
Sold Out Lilies.
They are angels and goddesses well betrayed
Their protégés so diverted by other matters ,
Their hearts led astray by the naivety of minds,
And their hands moving rampant in their constant
Confusion contained continuously in assured future
Suffering ,and without respite or restraint or remorse .
They are in millions and ubiquitous bearing their mystery,
Taking their giant strides with their tiny feet unguarded ,
Wobbling without strength or stamina and skill to sway
Tomorrow lights toward the destiny bosom as their
Predestination continually poke at calamity's abode -
Unknowingly tugging at the white grisly bear's paws.
And many of the called leaders continue to practise
Modern sorcery, jingoism and higher sophistry with
Shocking impunity, with no slightest interest in that
Little girl hawking water on that dangerous highways ;
The teenage girl that died from abortion was just thirteen
Has been raped by trust long before that four thugs will
Defile her that lonely evening at the glare of guidance.
A nation that delights in messing about with its children
Enjoy holding its young ransom for whatever reason,
Is devoid of wisdom, honour and decorum; an enemy
Of that tomorrow and of nationhood for this duo's fate
Hangs firmly on the vibrant and the purposeful young;
But will tomorrow wait for the moment to congeal for direction.
