To Raise The Issue Poem by Edward Kofi Louis

To Raise The Issue



Lust!
Your head is as empty as your hands;
Sedentary, dent, sent, yearn, deer, reed, red, end!
To raise concerns about the issue of rape;
Because, you have no security in your land!

Year, yearn!
Sedentary, see, seed, tray, ray, say, day, dear, seat;
Seer, sear!
With the approval from the higher authorities.
Deer, dear!
To raise concerns about the issue of lust;
End, and!
Because, you have no security in your land.

See, seed!
Sedentary, ear, read, era, are, years, den, sear, and, tar;
See, seer!
Jungle diamond and jungle gold;
And, with your livelihood.
Sue, issue!
And like the polluted waters in your neighbourhood.

Sedentary, year, seer, tree, tea, eat, ate, eats, days, rent;
Presumed!
Of your money, of your share and of your say;
Assessed!
With the optimum use of available resources.
Out, outcomes!
To the beneficial;
But, the reports came in! !
Because, you have no security in your land.

To the farmers and to the fishermen;
Sedentary, red, sad, rent, rats, art, arts, neat, rest, send!
Transparency, accountability and equity.
Neat, eat!
Sedentary, stand, set, sets, trees, tear, tears, near, rat, sat;
In the study,
Cap, captured!
With the pollution of water bodies.
