What A Mess! Poem by Fred Nwaozor

So mesmerized by
These uninvited messages
From unknown messengers.

That merciful farmyard
Filled with
Those messy buddies
Has constituted
This messy scene.

Right from
This officers' mess
As I view
This messy dispute
Solely causing
This real mess,

I cried
To the messiah.

In spite of
The glossy amnesty
As a result of
A panoramic view,

Still, they mess around
As if it was
A glorified armed-nest.
What a mess!

Oh, bucolic buddies!
Tender justice with mercy
And embrace
The merciful pen;

The excellent facilitator
Just like the trigger
Of your guns,
Instead of
The messy sword.

Remember,
The messiah is watching
This messy scene.
