United Shame

By Saint Tayo

Coming together in harmony

Is a sharp course of poverty

In the abode of destruction

Through the conglomerate of emancipation

This forced togetherness

Is a brain child of deliberate destructive minds

Knowing that the future is

A trouble of insanity in disguise

How then shall we continue to stay

In a troubled geography of suspicion?

How long will we continue to

Manage the madness of our being?

How long shall we continue to

Lick the fortunes of our dignity?

How long shall we continue to

Kill all in the name of God?
