SHITSTEM CRUMBLING

the residue of the nocturnal activities
the pungent smell of urine
threatening waves of despair in the mind
human excreta in sanitary lanes
throwing the mind in turmoil
the signature of failure evident
mastering a new art on the streets
dodging the mounds of garbage
this could be the new civilisation
am dragging myself from despair
failure can never be an option
*shitstem stems from shit and system.i learnt of it from the music and interviews of the late winston hubert mackintosh[peter tosh].it is a 'word' used to express dissatisfaction with misrule or mismanagement.let the progressive dictionaries of the world carry the word!languages cannot remain conservative.change the shituation[shit situation]
CHAMPIONS OF STRUGGLE
they immerse themselves
immerse themselves in the blood
that sacred blood of the slain
those slain searching for liberty
scythed by those privileged
seeking status quo maintenance
in the lap of luxury living
they immerse themselves
immerse themselves in the blood
that blood spilled for freedom
arduous battles they claim
gruesome tales they tell
the champions of our emancipation!
the rest of us labelled spectators
watching gladiators in blood curdling duels
heroes sing songs of self praise
