Time of the Son is close <br />It has always been close! <br />No one can stop the tide <br />Do you get what I say? <br />But, does it make it silly <br />Making the noise for peace <br />In speaking for those who can’t <br />Do I watch with folded arms <br />Concentrate on my rhymes <br />And on the chemistry of metals <br />Ignore what’s going on <br />The slaughter of the sheep <br />If not by the gun <br />By starvation, and by disease <br />The ones without guards to guard the body <br />This is a strange place in time <br />The strong kill for peace! <br />The weak remain on the run <br />The wise man is drowning in his bottle <br />The beast is wearing sheep’s skin <br />And I hate what I write…<br /><br />LLM Mbatha<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/time-of-the-son/
