Slipper Poem by Rafik Romdhani

Slipper



Are you weary of life
And evenmore bitter?
Don't worry
Many here are in the gutter
And no one to pull one out
Many do really shudder
And weave all sorts of doubt!
Don't worry

Oh Slipper!
Do you reek of death
And smell terribly bad
Like no other smell on Earth
When to straws toes bled?
Don't worry
Here brains are flying
Bodies dance instead
Corruption's made of power
An ever swinging hot bed
When money's roaring
The dead smile instead!
Don't worry

Oh Slipper!
Does the pitty patter of drudgery feet
Annoy the deaf around you?
How could that be right or true
You kiss with painful lips
The specks of sand in the street?
But Don't worry
For some mule here on the top of roofs
Cyclonically dances, bangs them with its hoofs
Rocks lickers' ears to sound sleep, you know
Oh Slipper!
You are much softer
By our flag, hemmed in those reedy hips
As she dances orsleeps in the raw
She slips, the viper, under life, under law
Robs the lion of its claws, tows it by the ribs
Don't worry

Oh Slipper!
Slap minds East, Slap them West
Show them the way which they lost
Every promise run away with life's salt
Life's sweetes taste is put to test
As the first snow to random lust
Oh Slipper Don't worry
Stay in peace, Stay blessed
Don't worry

Oh Slipper!
No wrong have you done
We wear you, we walk
We tread mud onto you as we run
You dry, we hurl you with fun
But don't worry
With weight so great the soul of Man
Bears it all buries
He Kneels, he burns to the Sun
maps pain and moans
Moaning that never parks
Man is hurled to Man
A mere voice to win the war
With promises filled to be fooled
Hurled to Northern Frost
Slapped by harsher slippers than you
To sea's hungriest sharks
A cheap floating bait to chew
Oh Slipper, Sharks won't eat you!
Oh goodness, he'll be sometimes
Hurled to those feet riding you
To tread upon and rip the way they did to you
Now, it is Man's turn to be under you, under you
Just like you!
