Requiem For Revolution (Poem)(A Repost)

[Chidi Anthony Opara, FIIM]

By Chidi Anthony Opara

Kitted

In borrowed kit of revolution,

With sword and swagger,

The heckler

Hatches a hoopla,

Rouses the rabble

And proclaims the rancour

Revolution.

With flared up features

And heaving heart,

The heckler swaggers

Into meal chamber of the state mansion,

Smiles,

Salutes

And surrenders the sword,

The swagger.

From the meal chamber,

Requiem for revolution

Saunters into the ears

Of the waiting rabble,

Rag-tag,

Starved.

They slink into shanties to sulk.
