Solomon Ochwo-Oburu Poet Elegiac Lyric

The Preface of a Slide

Those men who come in crowds
and move multitudes uncountable
begin on high grounds with joy
then there comes  slippery preface

Gross praise, flattery, faked joy
painting foolishness on the lovers
chanting hymns of duped adoration
begetting species of blind men

And the preface of the slide rages
laughing without happiness within
creating success without success
preaching loyalty with iron fist

When the slide comes unpredicted
goats begin to know they are goats
sheep believe demise is on holiday
but all feet slide without control

Then why build slippery grounds?
there is one thing mysterious with man
one fool elevated makes others fools
foolishly they sweetly  ape the master

Down the cliff many slide and thud
scared some grab broken rock pieces
fanatics stick on the grand fool’s back
as their fall earthquake around  globe
