In A Grieving Street Poem by Adeosun Olamide

In A Grieving Street

Rating: 5.0


Droplet from heavy skies mix with blown sands
The gutter sputters tiding waters to untar roads
Kids with thoughts of tarradiddle tarry in view of angered clouds
Purring praise to looming catastrophe bestowed

Beneath shambles their soul lingers loitering to awake from eternal mares,
In hours the once lively street is cold dead in heightened surges,
The rain snuffing life out of it, leaving it to despair,
This in calm veins seen as frowning faces of fathers cry like mothers as in dirges

Perhaps a sin they bear, one whom cross the blameless kids carries,
For in ways unknown they have angered nature, suffocating her in upheavals,
This through fumes done, smoke, butchery of trees
Their savoring necessity of consumption done them evil

Pregnant eyes bearing twin cry blubbering signal caution
Nor difference pored sky gives as in actions and inactions

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The desires I sometimes have wants of is God turning reality into dream, nightmares and I only just want to wake up desiring not a slumber have. Other times I just want him to turn a dream into reality wishing I never wake.
