The Tall Fall HardestA Poem by Edmund S. ObumbaBased on a true story...describes how malicious the pride of a typical learned african man can get.
What a brain,
stacked underneath his cranium... all the nervous connections electrical spasms,jetting all over in a pandemonium the rush is evident more knowledge to be stored more to be grasped... its a pity it has to rot in this soil that i stand on top. All the knowledge,dangerously culminated into pride and mannerless egocenticism all that turned malignant it infected his way of dress,speech and company his friends turned to foes his company began to repel him. his choice of words placed his not so learned friends on a grindstone. He had morphed..into an unimaginable beast. Women lined his hands,from left to right. Different souvenirs in his closet a different panty,different colours a rainbow of lingerie, champagne was his water wine was his juice. Drunk was his fad, s**t his preference. He was tall in all respects,even in his briefs. That height,that flesh..that chunky brain all that left for the maggots gain.. cut by a cough,a diarrhoea and a shiver all alone,no friends to help no women to bathe him in 'love' no audience to jest at in knowledge.. The tall one had fallen... His head had hit the ground the soil on which hpridefully strut had stained his neatly cropped hair... Alas death won. his was epic. The tall one had fallen. Not just merely, but hard on the common surface. © 2013 Edmund S. Obumba |
