Collaborative Poem by:
Stephen Mupoto [Ngugi Wamkiri]
Norman Mwale [The PenPusher]
The corridors of power,
Quake like a wreck.
The chaos in the streets,
Unsettle the parody of the _galant_
And the smoke in the barracks,
Deep-seated that it simmers
And smolders like magma.
The silence they all dodge
And bask in its peaceful state,
Bolted like an infernal stallion,
And gallop through the house of
Nonsensical conventions!
The ovule hollers, comes away
From its core,
Spurned by corrosive blows of
This sputtering terra-firma
Mushroom cloud, chuking promise
To the terrain of declension.
Life evaporates in the derisive
Political pavements and quashed,
Scarlet rivers mapping the pitiable
Realm
A war paint is the modernistic
Allegory,
Stratagems to contriving and
Manipulating;
A worry to the torn face of life.
Headache decays within the void
Stomach
These chaos; a political scarecrow
And chemistries betwixt!
