Flying with one wing
even before my country's aesthetics got battered by the gospel of prophets who preached change(banalities), we've heard of how men, who abhorred filthy lucre, hid gallons of oil outsizing the waterscapes of the Nile in the bank of greed,
we've heard songs and tales of Samson's ferocity, his ordination from the womb, the folly in his love and the gambit in Delilah's oomph.
We've seen Nebuchadnezzar's whip and the dexterity of it's wrath, drawing maps on the skins of our pasts
And now that wisdom suffocate in the armpits of fools, and wits are now considered inferior to imprudence by our sages, how then will the signposts of truth be erected on its way to renaissance?
who will purchase the ointments of justice from the streets of sheba, ride from the south where bandits congress to here and now just to heal the feeble eagle of our nation which now flies with one wing ?
