Song of a Minstrel

My heart erupts like a volcano
bursting with scathing songs,for 
the lobes of tyranny,fattened
by the deceptive lyrics,from 
sycophantic lips

My tongue,a molten kalam,shall
consume the valve of fear,preaching 
caution to frustrated souls,now
my music must rise ,from 
the din of ancient sighs,remixed
in the swelter of pain and anguish,rehashed
in the gurgling sound,of 
blighted bellies

My anvil honed labial,shall
spin arrows to pierce,their
stubborn ossiccles and
invade the cosmos of haughty drunkeness

My strident cry shall spin a noose,for 
the drooling neck of despotism,hawking 
chaos on our conflagrating land,where
swamp dwellers bath with spittle,and 
princes pawn peasant's heritance

My touching tune shall rouse,fascist
minds to the scent ,of 
our brewing anger,and
restless impatience

I shall continue to sing until,this
gathering storm harvest hearts,and 
stir furious fists,to deal 
deathly blow to the cenotaph of tyranny.
