WAYFARERS

Sought taunt,
Naught bought

Nil taken
Feel-ings lack-ing

Wayfarers have objectives
Pass through with no purpose
They walk but with no legs.

They seek for all
But shun reparation.



OUR EXCELLENCES

There is rising anger,
Deception to palpitating pain
It passes more for relief.

Our…
Boycott their duties,
And with pride,
Forget their pride.

For in their birth
All
Pride did die
In
Sweat beads of munching
Public lunch.

Now,with chin in hand,
We observer,
Damnation paraded in ego.
Truly our…
Are belittled with much gusto.

Forgive ignorance from us,
We are blind to duties
Performed in flowing robes
Of throbbing robes
Of throbbing hopes.
Accruing recovery
In flabby stomachs.



STAGES

Lack of understanding
Berates confidence.

When deceit pulls in grandeur,
Living becomes an accomplice
With our passage on earth.

Familiarity swapped in
Absolute deception
Seek for recovery in
The revelling of yesterday.

Days would roll in as
Tumultuous maturity of
Fluffy anticipations:
Torment in unspoken acts.

Only those capable of thinking
Learn to appreciate
Only those with no teeth
Know the value of kola.
