Where is the republic? Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by ndille, Cameroon Sep 17, 2007
Political Thought , Peace & Conflict   Poetry

  

I see the real and the dreams
The euphoria and the elation
Of those within and beyond the realm
Phasing out into Shoel, the great pit.
Here is the apogee of frustration
The nudity of political perversion.

As myself
Look in the mirror
The untarnished self;
Portrait of my innermost horror
I see in my awakened stupor…
For in the depths of my solitude
As my mind waves in its vicissitudes

I fear what self
I BE-PURE TERROR

If hope be but a concrete dream
Fear me; here it’s but a mirage
For true I can’t my illusions assuage
And my frustration has topped its brim.
In this cycle of horror, of pain
I see fleeting images of war
And if with myself be at par

Have we
MADE OR MARRED?

Wherein lays the lofty purpose?
For which many now in peace repose
Of which much was said and put to prose
Whereis the Republica?
Whereis its flavor and aroma?

Herein this mass all is anathema
Herein corruption optima pessima

HERE IS THE REPUBLIC!
