The Web Poetry Corner - Clarius Ugwuoha - So long it'd been!

So long it'd been!

by

Clarius Ugwuoha

For so long I've been
Hidden from my view
For so long I've shut myself
Upon this house

Strangers have made
Themselves landords of our lands
And we now as tenants
Pay rents in our house!

We turn on our sweat-wet flank
To drive the buzzing gnat.
We must drown it, this world around us
Drown it in laughter and gin.

Alas the laughter too has gone sour
In our mouths and now intoxicate
As dying with disgust
We pluck the living from the dead!

For so long, for so long
So long it'd been
That We had once known
A living from the dead!
