Echoes from the Heart: The Anaemic Angel

“Enweghi ihe emere ndi uwa meta ha nma!”

Critical…
Alas, when all was gloomy and dark
A virtue it seemed
Sparking forth from the depth of darkness
A light of hope
A voice for the people
Transcending above the reaches of ethnicity and religion
Capturing the deep yearning of true citizens

Cynical….
A good virtue turned bad
The new trend of events relegating you to the stands
Stronger minds rising higher
Their dependence on your light hidden from a heart blinded by a covetous veil
Their every action arousing a deep sense of disapproval
Cheeky and Petty remarks
Delirious write-ups promoted on slapdash boards

Sarcastic…..
A protracted stage of a virtue turned vice
Huge approbations coating well constructed jibes
A mass mockery of sincere achievements
Sadistic smiles adorning a face enriched with underlying hate
Ensuing a downward spiral
The witch hunt...
Paving way for a return to the reaches of ethnicity and religion

Alas citizen…
For once, a true nationalist you were
Striving to knit the pieces of this broken entity together

Alas citizen….
For now you drain blood and strength from the cause
Your words, a hot scalding knife slicing the knits so painfully done

Alas citizen…..
For till the cause is rid of your kind
A sure failure it races to embrace!
