The Political God-Father Is Gone Poem by Ndongolera C. Mwangupili

The Political God-Father Is Gone

Rating: 3.3


Indeed,
no matter if I am unpragmatic,
life is a paradox:
there is a time
when the victor surrenders
to the vanquished
and, may be, prowess is a size-less robe.

Perhaps,
in real life,
those whose success
is in the bullet
their defeat is in it too
and, possibly, power is a formless chair.

Lovely piece of poetry, well articulated and insightfully penned with conviction. Indeed those that kill with the sword shall die by the sword. I like the depth of the piece, it's food for thought. A beautiful poem bristling with insight. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
