A Melody Against Inequity Poem by Anzelyne shideshe

A Melody Against Inequity

Rating: 5.0


I hear songs of peace, love and unity,
All equating equality since the 1st century,
From various Races, Tribes, languages and Nations,
Rich and poor coherently rejoicing.

I've read books of various writters,
Harmoniously exercising a unified literature,
But unto the financial lyrics,
Each reciting an exclusive lyric,
Of utility consumption by a few 62.
Monopoly of power in there hands too.

The only chorus i hear is biased,
Many howling at the midst of poverty,
Women fighting for higher posts,
Girls fantasising over PhD's
Them acquiring jets to dream destinations.

Listen to there sound of laughter, in palaces.
Drinking and dancing to their slogans,
Feasting on silver spoons and gold plates,
Others waiting for there remains in dustbins
With stomach aches to there thatched houses,

Isn't it wrong to let water overflow unnecessarily,
preaching water and drinking wine,
Let's rejoice in a common rhythm,
A melody against inequity.
Rhythmically dancing to an Equilibriual song.

Listen to there sound of laughter, in palaces. Drinking and dancing to there slogans, Feasting on silver spoons and gold plates, Others waiting for there remains in dustpins, With stomach aches to there thatched houses, you highlight the contrasts and inequalities in our society. liked it very much. as poets we should raise our voice against all these. thank you dear poetess. thank you. tony
