The Gods Are Not Blind

You dig a tunnel and blind it with velvelt
You throw a rose on the velvelt and welcome me to the throne
What do you call my crime?

You water down my wine and whittle down the sparkle
You savour my stew and make  holes in the cooking pot 
What do you say I did?

You sling stones and go under the mortar
The gods are not blind  oh you smart snake
Sooner than you think the pestle will find the mortar.

No, the gods are not blind, Kayode! Perhaps they might turn a blind eye to give us another chance at mending what is wrong, but stupid they are not! I like the manner in which you build up your poem and present your message...it reflects your style! ~ Warm regards my friend. // paul
