Another Madness In Town Poem by Adams King

What madness could be more
the madness we've seen
or the madness we hear

What display of pretense
could be more delivered
than that you're delivering

hypocrisy at the highest
a devil with a false gospel
shame clothed in pride and power

Aldulterous house wife
pointing fingers at the prostitute
in the corners of the street

Why should the basket
pay attention to the waters
and leave the yams unpicked

Or why should the waters
wash the stains on the floor
and leave the fires unquenched

Pay attention to your people's need
and stop the religious heroism
for the purpose of getting praises
