Click here to see more of dappers poems

Our own society deceived the reality of our inner sanctum the vices we preached against have today become our daily dose
See back in my home village a bicycle was regarded prestigious but now youths are up in machetes demanding they be given community land, so they can buy motorbikes not to do bodaboda and improve there live but impress the sexworkers in the bars in my home village
Shida is the last born of a family of seven four boys and three girls
His first born brother onyi is a class seven dropout a muscular dystrophy who is dwayne Johnson bodied, his other two brothers joined hands to claim the community land 
The father being polygamous married two wives he claimed the cold was too much and he couldn't withstand a cold bath anymore so this younger wife was to one boil him bathing water and two be his comfort 
The mzee back then was the richest man in the entire village, he would be compared to...  Of today, he was a great farmer with two wives, seven children, twelve cows, 3goats and five sheep, on top of it all he had piped water back then who would stand up to his competition 
Ten years down the line Shida is a teenager now his brothers have all got married one sister died due to promiscuity Their father now getting old his fifty acre piece of land has depreciated to 25 not mathematically but in terms of selling 
The boys now all grown get there father drank and  give him a proposal they be like "father we are your sons and what a parent wants from his son is prosperity"
the same judge who passed the ruling gives a different opinion yet the truth is sugar coated with mercury more reactive
NB:
Still writing give me your insights guys in the comments I'll appreciate

I shall forget to smile that i stand upon thy corpse,remembering how i loved thee. And ill try to have thee scribed on all three hearts. The clock struck death on our mothers bossom Yes, our mother!!! There those violent streets delights have estactic ends for only the night. And in the taste of a better life i sought of a couple who traded slaves, and gave me a roomie. A bird i killed one night. I was a sober suited young. Loved one minute, mistreated and harshly disciplined the next. According to my master's mood. His wife was silent, she did not care, she was not my mother. I always sat at night in my Harry porters cupboard writing poems for a woman i would love. My first poem was cursed to roam the bin in pieces like Cain from the holy book. Farewell virgin poem,i know we s...

Full of talent But cant make ends meet Qualifications are all met But the job you do not fit What again is neded? Yet the quacks have succeeded Is it money? Soo sweet than honey It flows in our veins Eats us up all,no remains With no conections your end begins It is that money that reigns Ooooh corrupt me! Elsewhere i deserve to die But here i walk shoulders high We control the economy Transparency is just a philosophy Subjects cry but it is the obvious We do not care the previous We the boss Subjects get the loss Thats me No blasphemy I wont interrupt For i am corrupt Africa is my name That is my game            ©PHYLOPASTHEGREAT2018
