A Right To Ask (A Poem)

A Right To Ask ~~~~~~~~~ In vain the promises fly like kites So high that they sparkle like the stars in Heaven. Your welfare is my concern they'll even trumpet, But where are the promises that once spoke so loud? With mouth so loud, they speak like demi gods Putting the people at the receiving end. At the high castle they crucify their pillar of support Oh ye building! You cannot stand without a pillar to support. Where is our strength? Where is our right to ask? Now ℓ̊ know wisdom is not measured by a man's height, But by steadily trying to know and ask. Thirsty for knowledge is not a wish, But a personal approach to life and issues. Our eyes in governance must look out for us That our days may not be like that of a horse... Opia-Enwemuche Maxwell O. (C)23-06-2013 @maxzydapoet 23598DE2
