Patched Umbrella, Scattered Broom
www.facebook.com/WRRPoetry [Patched Umbrella, Scattered Broom]
Watching these people
Laying the future
On a keg of kerosene

This is a trip I walk with fear
When the rain flogs painfully
Through the faded, patched umbrella…

Oh! The nay-tion streets are dirty
Where is the broom
To sweep out the sorrow of the nay-tion

I weep! They’ve came by, holding the umbrella
Where are the sweepers of the nay-tion
Why are they yet to dump our sorrows into bins?

When I embarked on this paining trip
I wept… No umbrella or broom! Couldn’t persevere
Now all I need is shoe to cover my plodding foot…

The nay-tion I was born into and love to be in
But, politicians take me granted… like wee
I weep, still using my potent pen to pee

When they came again to shower their words
It shall surely fall on deaf ears
Then, who will avert their sorrows and pains?
