“Did you understand The Narrative?”
And I answered in The Affirmative.
But it was a lot sugared and inventive,
What should’ve been kept and left ‘Native’
For a society still Helplessly Conservative
With her applause for stories of The Summative …
“And did you enjoy The Narrative?”
I made sure I said ‘Delicious’ in a voice penetrative
But in my mind had A Crying Alternative
I thought worth treating as Imperative
For our Youths in the eye stared by The Formative
And often dying to appear assertive …
The Understood and Enjoyed Narrative
I knew I wouldn’t delay its purgative,
All these while answering to an ear please
And clogged nostrils deny a sneeze.

Without persons there would not be a tear
Of wells they spring forth of emotions clear
What be purpose so personal a tear
Running in river’s emotions so clear
Emotions of a mother brings a tear
Cuddling newborn baby very dear
Neglected child, poor misfortunes not mild
Borne in broken homes of chaotic wild
Salute of veterans brings many tears
Sitting without their legs in their wheelchairs
Their sacrifices visually clear
Their freedom for ours, something very dear
Their salty drops of water drop in beers
Taverns of lonely hearts, tokens of Cheers
Tear lotions, giving emotions of dove
Consciences would soon sear over without love
Little bitty tears spoil the acts of clowns
When final act of life’s curtain comes down
Salty tears neat, when life produces treat
Tear summative blessings of life be sweet
May we live and learn as tear rivers burn
As human faults, failures and pleasures churn
Let us measure our treasures by tears lost
As life measures our pleasures, counting the cost!!
