Compromise (Poem)

[Chidi Anthony Opara, FIIM]

By Chidi Anthony Opara

"Off the mic,

It's okay".

This is not poetry,

'Tis the language of compromise

From the mouths 

Of compromised gods and goddesses

In the chamber

That should be hallowed

But now hollow.

"Off the mic,

It's okay".

This is not poetry,

'Tis the language

Of the unscrupulous lot

Who stole mandates to govern

In this land where laws 

Are observed in breaches.

"Off the mic,

It's okay"

This not poetry

'Tis what is that should not be!
