Cold-Compassion Poem by MATHEW OYEDELE

Cold-Compassion

Rating: 5.0


Who is the slave?
Me, or this metallic monster?
That drains my emotion
And compassion!

For leaders I meet not
I fight.
For terrorism sake
My bed, neglected.

Loneliness, my shelter
Emotion, my adventure
Expectation, ample
Disappointment, the response.

Therefore, forgiveness, non-existent
Wickedness, my food
I kill, not my beloved
But strangers on the stem of my beloved.
