UMBRELLA OF GUNNERS

Where did common sense go
In a knowledge bank which acts so slow
As real work stands at no show
In a realm which frustrates their own future?

II
Why are they chasing promotions
Detrimental to their charges’ demotions
And causing frustrations and commotions
In hearts structured to fit their future?

III
It is horrid, seeing birds frustrate their boarding trees
It is heartwarming, seeing eagles turn many a vulture
…to clip wings of their own future
It is nauseating, seeing common sense escape knowledge gurus
Who shun their essentials for wings tattered in immoralities

IV
They who claim superiority of mind
…will be the death of wisdom
They who are mouth pieces of sovereignty
…will be the cause of anarchy
They, who must put highest powers on toes
…are acting as national foes
Atop curses, cries rumble across
…loops, etching groans of nourishing minds
Who are forced to swallow perplexities of mentors
Who chase positions
…without a glance to their own charges
Any wonder they’ve turned our nation’s rear-pieces
…instead of mouth-pieces?

V
Knowledge is now a grilling pan
Roasting the best into the least
Turning strong voices into timid fans
Taming strong hearts into incompetent beasts
As models tickle themselves under the feet of positions
…they have become slaves to
