Agony of fusion

battered lives on their way
to early grave

are made drunk with sour
liquor of weight

ratite birds caught in the wild,
curbed in coop of servitude

we peep through the vent
of hungry cage
to watch unusual birds

and squirrel eat off
the fruit of our trees and flowers

so free
so proud
they buzz and perch

sing taunting songs of war,
songs of those favoured
by the gods

with broken pinion
and sore throat
we sing

sing with voice kinda faint;
in pangs and pains
we echo our requiem
in disarray

to lure the good memories
of yesterday to sleep -

how we used to eat
of our trees, ply and nest
before the fusion

when weight was far overseas,
tribalism was in the womb of time

avaritia in far distance
land waiting for vanity
from the burrow of power

to fecundate
the womb of weight

helpless unborn baby
we wail
yell
boo

in dark womb of yoke

not heard from deep down
we put on dour effort,

bite the placenta of power
to impress our plight on deaf
ears of chokehold

our berceuse lure them
to sleep while we dance drums
of amalgamation -

the fusion of beast and sheep
in a hutch ;

they sit back to watch as fun!
