#poemoftheday : Madam Kumolu

MADAM KUMOLU

Here comes thee once more,

Longtime ago you disappeared;

The thin air felt your absence,

Pollution left our hood.

Madam kumolu!

 

Here comes thee once more,

Though a bit pregnant, 

With unhealthy quadruplet-

Trampled tranquility;

Bountiful iniquity;

Heightened diversity;

And moral complexity.

Madam kumolu!!

 

Unwelcome guest,

We want you no more,

Wiser we now are,

Awake our consciousness remains,

Stronger our veins fare;

Not Manchester-like,

Madam kumolu!!!

We are now united.

Leave...take a bow,

Perchance,

You might have a thinking box for that;

Take your leave,

For the dawn is new.
