Renounced Blood
Stains of crying blood on the shores of precocity
Where precocious less heedlessly conceives a new life,
With innoxious looks cryptically chasing material states,
When coital craving enchant erroneous belief,
and mindlessly breeds unwanted streams of renounced blood.
Bowling, weeping and wailing innocent blood,
Wasted away like a putrid and offensively smelling refuse, In a sudden and perplexing realm of fatherlessness,
Where orphanhood heedlessly embrace alien blokes,
to evade new streams of renounced blood
Unlettered God-like creators of innocent blood,
Egoistically obliterating unstructured hope of African lads,
In a baffled excursion of pubertal evolution,
Where manhood maturity usually immures boyhood immaturity,
And cryptically license new streams of renounced blood,
Lust and greed enchants ceaseless streams,
Where lost generations embracing pernicious tags,
In a podium of a freedom of choice and expression,
Which deprives progenitors to reclaim drowning progenies,
Who diurnally submerge below new streams of renounced blood.
