My eyes are allergic to pain,
I get the same reaction as if am
chopping an onion,
Tears flow down my cheeks dry plains,
Leaving a trail that raises opinions.
I tear for my insecure country,
One of my favourite rapper is in search
of the Promised Land,
Where death is a myth and people are
never hungry,
Where corruption is loathed and never
grand.
Embraced death as a statistic lesson,
Embraced negative tribalism that lead to
oppression,
Embraced PR and social media is their
way of expression,
Embraced human gods becoming our obsession.
The only success is in life lost,
Corruption cost,
Selfie posts,
The kingly tribal ghost.
Condolences form our common speech,
We bury and forget,
Terror thrive in our continuous fear and
siege,
Few of us will be jailed if we protest.
After a tragedy #Tag #WeAreOne,
Terrorists’ #Tag #WeHaveWon,
Bereaved families cry #WeAreAlone,
Give them few weeks and its gone.
My eyes are allergic to pain,
I get the same reaction as if am
chopping an onion,
Tears flow down my cheeks dry plains,
Leaving a trail that raises opinions,
We shouldn’t settle for this painful
union.
