Rampage

Let’s engage the minds gauge Torque the imagination and take it hostage Gouge the intellect with an over dosage A ravenous binge To my brain damage from under usage Free the soul from bondage Unburden emotional baggage Forge a merge of love and rage with courage Intoxicate paper with ink cartridge A work of art on a page, a poetic collage Like a soothing beverage A poetic rampage on stage Accumulate knowledge to reduce poundage Of ignorance and information blockage And salvage the tarnished image A cerebral drainage to our disadvantage Like the last spoken words of a dying language A cultural power outage, a national outrage A plague destroying a village A confidential postage of information leakage A sabotage of an adulterous marriage In a society of average That hemorrhages failure without stoppage Skills in a shortage The signage of a corrupt patronage A camouflage of a failed brokerage Education a privilege We can use to salvage And envisage a future of prestige Expel garbage from the mind’s storage Wage war with my conscience and cause this carnage And ravage until there’s nothing left to salvage A honesty challenge Acknowledge my heritage To retrace my lineage Success a leverage To use as excellent anchorage A long walk of some mileage from a dark age To pay homage to Mandela an iconic sage And impart a message As I indulge you with a poetic massage
