My spirit is not broken!: A poem

There is a poignant patience, like a limerick

that has a laughter from humour that never

dissipates. There is a war of roses struck

between agony and expectation, that never

seems to come unstuck from the thorns, if

restraint was an anomaly not an amenability!

There is a ludicrous tyranny, where people

are walking in a darkness of countries, that don’t

seem to answer to conscience or care about truth!

There is a sky that shakes loose to fall everyday

in the backdrop of your convenient dishonest lifestyles!

You don’t want to know if it is the thunder and

lightning asking for justice, or calling you out!

But you don’t want  the revelation hammered

like a nail into the wall of the hides of your soul!

There is no inebriation of passion or compassion,

There is no mystique solitudinal soul-searching,

Everyone wants to be sots in the pubs of lies

Everybody seems lost in the ease of complacence.

Mutiny of the righteousness is discouraged. Where

do I go, to which unctuous  window that reflects a flight

taken by the diaspora to return unwillingly home?!

If that’s what an evil will make me do? Is defiant reluctance

a hazard, or preservation of one’s soul a crime?. If you think

earnestly that love is deceit or deceit could be love,

to break the chasms  of treachery? I am not bound by

the chains of evil, nor is my sacred halo disfigured by

impositions. My spirit is not broken; In fact, evil is long broken

by the guilt of its own connivance! Or is there any guilt?

No matter, I just love my sacredness like a tender dew

that honeys my precious soul and keeps it refreshed!
