A Poem of Observation

Observation
by Abdullah Maka

My eyes are wide open,
At times, I want them shut.
This nation speaks of unity,
but unifying on simple stuff.
Unity for them,
is only for there gain.
When favor was given,
many took advantage in vain.

Now the scheme is revealed,
how can we ignore it?
Respect is few,
Wickedly applauded.
Bounded with shackles,
Yet the wicked run free.
Forgiveness is an option,
That the world refuse to teach.

Wise words are quoted,
But actions display other.
Some got it right,
Now let's persuade the others.
Wisdom of many,
Yet this nation still denies.
Be all you can be,
Aligned with truth, not lies.

Observe and report,
Simple rules to keep.
Watching cups run over,
With sins we breach.
Lies and deception,
Just to get that dollar.
Yet, lies still repeat,
With flames fused from ABBA.

Shalom
