The Honey And Ak47 Celebration Poem by Rose Kanana
The Honey And Ak47 Celebration
The gathering by the road side began
The congregants had not expected
That they would be served or serve the honey brew
For it had been a long day full of chores for them
No sooner had they gotten cosy into final discussions
Than the police AK47 bullets showered
It was a sweet sad ending to disperse the roadside gathering
Each taking their route to various destinations
Feeling guilty as to why they chose to have the road side honey celebration
Without proper security details or helmets to protect the strangers
They hoped that there were no casualties caused through the impromptu gathering
For only a sage would have decoded the message of this gathering
They hoped to plan for a rejoinder
But the fear of the eventful-fateful evening was still there
Guilt, anxiety of the unknown filled them
But happy the congregants remained
For they had tested the waters of the Police machine
This poem reminds me of my past military life before I turned to humanitarian work! I like it.
Interesting Kissa, hard to link both professions to the poem.I appreciate your comment.
Weapons will never bring us peace! Thanks for sharing.
This is a window into your society. Your viewpoint is as refreshing as honey brew, being open to both sides: you don't one-sidedly deplore the actions of either police or party-goers. Whatever happens is emerges from deep social conditions, and that is the level on which it changes, so what would be the point of political correctness that deplores one side only?
The poem was very balanced showing both sides without a bias by the poet was clearly well penned.i liked it
I like the way you created a scenario of happiness to consume some traditional brew before police messed up plans. Good piece
When will we ever overcome police brutality? a well penned sorry state.Thanks Poetess.
At times the state is put to test when proper procedures aren't followed
