We Would Rather Not Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

Twirl in the swell of innocence
All the swag dulled in the murky waters of self-importance
With an agile swing onto every branch of our being to soil
Decadence is so evident in every strata of our society
Priming our posterity for the dark ages ahead
Dimming the very rainbow colours of our beauty with callousness
In the politics of being, evil individuals stick out tall
They do so because the good among us would rather not
