Long Wait
















For some, the long wait is never over

they are always in anticipation

hoping that the tide would change

perhaps, if this happens or that happens




Yet nothing ever does if you are

at the lower echelons, bottom of the pyramid

only the power wielders change- from kings

to white skinned sahibs to brown skinned ones




The powers that be, would like to keep them yoked

to use, manipulate, use as oxen to do their bidding

would like them to be unread, not be able to use head

ask questions, compare their lot with the chosen few
 

Therefore, close all doors of a possibility of higher education

is the sweet mantra used by manipulators, passed on

from generation to generation- ensuring the weak remain weak..




So, there they remain in eternal wait

for better days- economically, socially, spiritually

yes, a mirage, but they know not; Poor things can't

give up 'Hope', the only thing that they can cling to

during all seasons, at all times!
