MENACE(POVERTY)

When two Elephants fight,it is the grass that suffers or gets trampled. This is a universally accepted truth regardless of the time and place. What does it mean to you? To me, it means when there is a problem between two people others around them would definitely be affected.



I've seen it apply several times all around the world. I wouldn't be telling such tales with this post-story for another day-rather the pain of such 'grasses' and their hope of survival is what I'll be considering.
The title of this poem is 'MENACE-POVERTY'. Let's take a look with a magnifying lens,at this one hell of a social problem.










MENACE(POVERTY)



Vision incredibly scary

sun,show your fires want to behold clearly

who will rescue the masses

from these soldiers and those having riches.

See,feel their anguish and pain

in dealing with it and other vices that reign

moving_rocks_shattering glasses

killing poor sparing rich

yard by yard making life hard,

inch by inch not even cinch

scattering,hopping,falling

children crying

stores empty parents hiding

sophisticated guns

taking over food,clothes_homes

clad with all sorts of bullets

moving past their entire mileage

a terrible day

birth pangs are here child has refused to come the earth way

countless bodies of those slained


immediately forgotten when lowered into mass graves

masses from different races

seeking refuge in places of worship

striking with arrow full of diseases.

Heavy downpour of insecurity

devastating tremor of immorality

ear deafening cry for justice

nobody is helping the masses

ever fledgling corruption has been tagged opportunity

fruit of the belly given over to few having riches.

Looking through the window pane

salvation definitely come their way

war will end

sunshine beyond the rain

light at the end of the tunnel

but for how long will their body be pummeled

who knows maybe they'll never live to see the day.
