Join A Queue Standing Poem by Moses Kainwo

you can see the stars ministers mini mini mini
gliding high above the clouds and clouds and clouds
it is the way of servants who excel in the spirit
where base things dare not stain their glows and glows and glows

not only that they also wash the jigger toes with straws and straws and straws
which they came to see where they wash feet and feet and feet
look at those feet in motor tyres claiming their ground on motor roads
towards the place where the displaced are more unplaced

i can see my sister and brother in their true servant colours
for those in the dark to see aglow aglow aglow
indeed the master says the needy must see them
before they go to connaught or unicef or state house

the paraprofessionals know their cue and queue up in queues
of stars that call the children to play hand and foot games of games
indeed they are here beckoning the new star to queue up
come on sister you must catch the vogue and join a queue
