green, green grass, bales of hay
the sweet smell of rain, cometh the monsoon
a beautiful house, boy locked in his room
a nice shiny car, blood sweat and tears
a nice shiny car, shattered dreams full of fears
religion in issue, clashes and destruction
smiling politicians, broken promises and seduction
a child's imaginary friend, neglect and confusion
a fat man with cake, gastric bypass operation
a couple holding hands, beatings and bruises
an F for math, female student refuses
an African nation, a people in strife
an African president, a country for a wife
appearances can be deceptive, never judge a book by its cover..keep probing.
ReplyDeletevery good stuff...thought-provoking ... love it.
there's always two sides to the coin. Loved the rhyme scheme.
