Missing

akpenyi Matthew 2000 (Delta state)

Free verse
The birds are silent
A voice is missing

The dogs are barking
A bone is missing

The time is six o'clock
A crow is missing

The papers are arriving
Good news are missing

February is coming
Lovers are missing

Banks are open
Money is missing

The sheep are waiting
Shepherd is missing

The world is ready
Someone is missing

About this poem

The poem missing is all about the failures of our leaders. The bird cannot sing without a voice Why should dogs bark because of food Imagine no cock crow at six o'clock And bad news keep coming every day What happen to the money in the bank Why do shepherds abandon their sheep The world is prefect, we are just lazy
