Funom Makama Poet Epic

Time Ticking Terribly

What was snow white is becoming dark red
and all forbidden elements, we now touch.
Honesty and charity hanging on a thread
the society having no positive influence from the church.
Why can’t we understand that everyone is everyone’s kindred?
It doesn’t matter if you’re African or Dutch.
Discipline and perseverance we dread
Spirituality and godliness, hated so much.
Corruption and hate we eat in one loaf of bread
but baked so sweet and soft of such.

Our minds, losing their Authority
to the robbers of perversion.
My weeping spirit scares this ink
to stop this out pour from a melting heart.
Time ticks, but unfortunately in a terrible direction

Duke Beaufort July 10, 2015 at 7:51 PM It's all true. There are those of us who do appreciate what comes from others. We also want to preserve a reasonable resemblance of normal order for generations to come. Funom Makama February 1, 2016 at 6:50 AM Thank you very much Duke

Darlene Gifford July 9, 2015 at 7:21 AM Hi, I liked your time ticking poem. Especially liked how you compared bread to corruption. Some of the white bread sold in stores these days. is nothing but flour, not nutritious or healthy for us. But Jesus is the bread of life and satisfies our souls! Thank you for spreading the gospel. Blessings, Darlene Funom Makama February 1, 2016 at 6:50 AM Thank you very much Darlene
