Peoplecracy Poem by SylvaOnyema (SUPER.T) Ubah

Peoplecracy

Rating: 5.0


Patiently they stand
On the poll
Carrying the flag -
Who wears the crown?

Sudden drops of water
Falling like green apple
On their heads
The prize for peoplecracy?

Sun shone like florescent light
Face wet with weariness

They stand
Patiently they stand
With patriotic whistle
Sudden sound of bomb blast
Opening grave of uniformed youths
Snatching away knowledge
Bought with midnight oil

Can they smile again?
Those that drank the bitter pill
That we may be well again.

Peoplecracy

Can they smile again Those that drank the bitter pill That we may be well again. The poet refers to those that laid their lives as a sacrifice for others to live.
