Somalia
Assembled assemblage
man-at-alms
mentally polluted
with donors of selfish interest
dedicated to combating violence
in a wild of drenching blood
progeny, mothers in cold blood
thwarting occurrence
of a peaceful ambience
Exiling peace
in the abysses of space
Now, furnace of hell brings
a scorching atmosphere that springs
spelling plague upon houses
where true nature of love
once dwelled
Assemblage polluted minds
still glowing the dying embers of war
on cadaver of innocent souls
assembled in a combat
in scorched land of stanched blood
confusing looting cacophony
turmoiling the air with yelping turmoil
contaminated with carrion fleshes
of innocent mothers and children
Somalia Somalia
the land of sad tomorrow
the tomorrow of broken dreams
dreams interpreted by the gun
the land of crooked future
the future polluted with wars
the war of senseless revolution
the revolution of senseless gains.
On An Exile For Evergreen Farms
(For those Africans risking their lives trying to be in Europe)
Broken dreams
metamorphosing into foolishness
Ephod of hopelessness they worn
Clawed in claws mentality
dreams stripped from its realities
on a safari across ocean
of burning flames
left in the depth of mediterranean
Crooked ideology of crooked odyssey
bowed under the weight of poverty
from terra firma of buried upgrowth
to an abode of slavery
Assemblage youths
with Chattels on boat
trespassing realms
escaping the scorching ambience
of Africa
denying responsibilities to cultivate the little at hand
to a place patriarchal toil toiled
Like swallowing birdies looking for evergreen wilds
On the voyage of becoming rich
across plethora of narrowed ways
abandoned mothers, children left
on the ebb and tides of the sea
echoing their exile for evergreen farms
