Hired Masquerades (poem)

HIRED MASQUERADES


A true impedimenta

To the continuous

Fantastic societal approach

Stipulated by

The African giant

To embrace the promise-land.



Were you hired or

You hired yourself?

Well, not really necessary.

The fact remains,

Hire is in question.



The most complicated scene;

Still the fact

That you are

Part and parcel of

The struggling society.



I wonder,

You willing agreed

To be

Among the notorious

And exploitable work force.



You are not just

A speech impediment

But a major impediment

To the societal economic growth.



Behind the bars

Ought to be

The only resting arena

For your pessimistic ego.
