Short memories and long term measures, <br />What will you say when you are in chains? <br />For the manifesto of your love is now lost to the wind. <br />Speculations and of the act of the wheel, <br />Anytime and anywhere to write my muse; <br />But assiduously impacted to touch your heart with care, <br />And the quest for the truth is all that i need. <br />Of a brilliance intelligence to touch your heart, <br />And for your sake i will sing for free; <br />For it is improverished to the act of your love. <br />Let me bury the hatchet and move on, <br />Because you still do have short memories of this love, <br />An the truth of the matter is still around you. <br />I want to live free and to write down this muse for you, <br />But around me are the chains of hatred! <br />And of the chronic superstitions of the religious bodies; <br />But what can i say to these feeble minds? <br />The irregularities of mankind besets nature, <br />And of the debate around to share my mind with; <br />For life is very hard at times but it is always liveable, <br />And we can overcome the debilitating acts at times. <br />Nature's vicissitudes, <br />One love and one heart to cross th border! <br />But have you heard about the blues of 'Mona Lisa'? ! <br />Andof your short memories and your long term measures, <br />For the poisonous snake is now being bitten by another snake.<br /><br />Edward Kofi Louis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/short-memories-2/
