Log of wood on a sailing boat

By Atok Dan

On a sailing boat, lies a log of a dead wood

Lying permanently on wishes of glory seekers,

On wishes of sycophants

they adore it,

glorify it

But masses are dead logged behind the wood

No way but deadly lies their way permanently

Its removal negates their source of survival

It renders them a dry pasture

It beneficiaries behave in liked of a scabies’ patients

Log of a dead wood on a speedy boat,

an iceberg on a water highway

On Long Highland and Suez Canal,

On Mediterranean and Pacific Ocean

Deterrent on a free flow of Nile water

Log of dead wood on a sailing boat is a liability of progressing village

It hinders progress but glory seekers adore it

Adorn it with ornaments of a village

The wealth of a village

An occupant of a rotten seat

A liability on a nation

On the mercy of ignorant masses

Log on a running dugout canoe on the Nile flourishes,

well amongst emaciated faces

Guided by a flock of wolves armed with swords of death

Only can they heed to orders from a dead log

Only can they execute flare

For they can only salvage in mess of a village

Log of a dead wood impedes flow of ideas,

never applauded wealth of wisdom at its reach

only can it swagger with pride in its own messes

in its mushroom liked decorated attires,

guards flap their wings in appraisal

it is the zeitgeist of selfish driver
