What Have We Turned Into? Poem by Raymond Anyanwu

Did you see that preacher shun his brother
And curse his partner As though a dissimilar colour
This is not acceptable
But his patriarch taught him so
He was supposed to preach love
But this was outwitted
The limits widening further
Than his heart would decide to go

What have we turned into?
A people self indulgent
What have we turn out to be?
Tell me: Where are the ones righteous and upright?
What have we become?
In a planet relapsing
As a Seraph with no wings
As a monarchy with no monarch
What have we turned into?

Will you speak your mind now?
Worry less about others or whence you came from
Because it isn’t what you were
But what you have become
