OUR PALMWINE CHAIRMAN

History shall never be erased
From the book of times
History shall ever hunt
The hiding hoodlum in hot house
Crimes and devilish acts
Shall be brought with the sword
To bite that which professes sainthood






Many moons ago
The magic merchant of Mellanby




With top tunes
Did a festival of victory celebration
Waters flowed; juice swallowed
Slippery floor; slippery men
Intoxication of cataract eyes
And white minds in blood colour


Mellanbites turn drinkites
Dance of a heinous crime
And victory of filthy freedom








The colossus
Perched on a wooden plate with rests






Looked forward
To the beginning of thuggery calculations








Our lot
Sacrificed to the intoxicating wine






Our integrity
The smelling place of a swine






And our freedom
Killed with maggots from the wine


Mellanbites preach; he breach
The peace ascertained in trouble
But ours is the sacrificed lamb
Of the hand of Abraham


Heads bang




On iron body
Display of madness






On UCH road
Galloping with a brush






In his crooked cavity
But our eyes




Closed to the truth
And our brain




Omitted our coming losses
To largely encompass




The sanity of votes
And we sold our generation




For a cup of toxic wine


Now that the doors to our future








Is closed
And what tomorrow has in stock






We are ignorant of

Then,


Let’s clasp our hands






In way of prayers


And our heads bowed






In the eastern direction


Let’s pray for the uncertainty






Of our future


For with opened eyes






We sold our gentle generation


For a cup of toxic wine






And a bite of bad brew.

POSTSCRIPT:
Forget instincts and sentiments. The reality is the truth and to make us patriots, let us understand the truth. I know the brush shall prickle, the lion shall roar and the elephant shall trumpet in anger but, forget instincts and sentiments so as to REMEMBER THE BOND THAT GLUED US TOGETHER…
