One Morning

As we awoke to the breeze in June
And the wind touched our open sore
Reflection belled our nothingness: we got flour
So we perched here to commune

Our squalid life like an unuttered spell
Cast on a wrecked sore to forever smell
Messaged our status quo
To flies to lick the fluid from the sore that flowed

Various aims yet shaped, unshaped
Left wretched uncared for
On a burning sun like a mad man's sore
Useless, variegated, weather-swayed

This uppity wherein our rulers dwelled
Many at 50 unto our pity
And the hands of frivolities that hijacked our progress
So more woebegone was our sore in this higgledy-piggledy

But one morning hot in November
When we awoke our home unto new salvation
Our souls and lives may ever veer from neglect
When we changed words for us to remember
