   Those in favor say “aye” Because the nays never get to climb the stage Tell me a story I haven’t heard Was it not you? Who made the call and ended the call Sitting gallantly on a throne made by your own self! Blowing your own trumpet Sending out missiles with drones Regardless of whom it hurts Was it not you?

Of those salient solo blows Swelling up our cheeks left and right Leaving wrinkles on our young ones faces Like a silent bomb Dropping traces of hatred and disunity Like a confused engineer Building up a haze of various emotions Some condensed patches of anger, of revenge, of terror waiting to explode! Conniving with the storm to form an acid rain Boom here, boom there This madness has to end!

Bits n' Bobs

Written by Peace Eneja A whirlwind of thoughts An array of distorted feelings Of merry and melancholy, Of winning and losing A mind wrapped up in jumble Dropping hints of anomalous chimera Imaginations running wild There it goes, here it comes Not settling for one or two Further it moves, deeper it dives Like a falcon swoops upon its prey Yet unable to get a strong grip on something, anything Searching for some sort of learnedness Beyond its cognisance Lost in the arms of a foreigner Kissing all bits and bobs.
