Debris Poem by Kayode Are

Feel pain see no gain
Mountain of ills brew disdain
Wall fell and blocked pathway
Shards of concrete and clay
Debris cloud clarity of rebound
Lament of sorrow fill ground

Love might wake and streak
When the orgy of hate peak
Blinded by decaying debris
Past tyrants and political hubris
Crumbled monument to greed
Myopia which transient power feed
Those building new walls
Find path doomed with falls

Clump of trees on barren rock
Foliage verdant and green
Beside pale and famished flock
Flourish on debris of vengeful spleen
Deposits by non-discriminating wind
Sameness nature cannot command

Wounds to heal
Stomachs to fill
Omen partisans heed not
Group wounds fester and rot
A solitary finger cannot beat the chest
Only the collective signals strength

Rattling sword, pen dripping blood
Unpredictable universe of ugly debris
Ripples of care stem the flood
As fanatics stoke the flame of crisis
Generations soon swept away
While gales of change hold sway
