I dream corruption
27 November 2015
PHILIP KAUPA
I live in a little pond I seat by and ponder with a stare into the air and wonder the suspicious scent is in the air, I see it in the media
Another home of laughter and care shatters, a deceitful father emerges The ones entrusted, keep becoming traitors, The ones who oath to protect, keep becoming breakers,
The ones ordained to preach, keep breaching, The ones empowered to lead, keep misleading I seat by and dream in tears,
The road ahead seems dark with fear; an hour feels like a year I take each step, with no guide or map
I seat on oil fields and gold, yet I’m so poor and cold Its dawn but the first glimpse of sunlight is hardly visible, the white shores are pile of litters, nothing pleasurable
Thunder keeps roaring louder and hovering over the horizon are dark grey clouds that never seems to fade as if it was eternally made,
a storm is mounting and is far from over Suddenly, like melting wax, the mountains pour larva Where then could I take cover? I just can’t get over
At one end the storm and the other eruption, I can feel destruction and overwhelm with deprivation It is a terrible dream, sighs!! Oh, Corruption,
my little nation crippled by corruption And not a day goes by without me wondering; I seat by and ponder about my little pond.
