Animal Nation Poem by segun Johnson Ozique

Animal Nation



In this state, animal ruled nation
Though are sheep when seeking votes
Turn wolves when enthroned leaders
Patience is stretched to disobedient brewing
Tomorrow's dissidents are today being born
Unlike yesterday today's revulsion are expose
Dignity and decency is pinned back
Bitterness and frustration bottled
Blood smeared no longer in shadows
And now, rage boils in under current
Held in check by uncommon logic
Of olive tree held to quieten the eruption
But they only postpone final day of reckoning
Revolution would bring the brew burns to boil

I just discovered you. You are still one of the sleeping giants present in poemhunter. I urge you to arise and shine. You are a poet of class.
