Vagabond (Favorite #2)

I've been to roughly 50 countries and countless cities in countries I'm yet to visit..this is just Part 1 of my reflections..

Vagabond

Marvelous foliage fills your senses

Fatigue no longer lingers

Noise and human nuisance recycles

South Africa greets you with new disciples

 

Devil awaits you

Disguised in charming windmills and facades

Calvinism yet red light district

Who are we kidding?

Holland shouts how I can ever be forgiven

 

Corruption cripples

Vast land and human capital

Giant minds and wasted talents

India only asks for a small nibble

 

World listen!

Destiny hoots and they start to christen

China rises as US despises

Japan bows and everything is back to drowse

countries compete, countries deplete...and corruption cripples them...the devil is everywhere----

with all the competition and envy peace seems so far off...

i really like the sarcasm of Giant minds and wasted talents.

[Leo]

oh my intention was pity not sarcasm..thanks for reading

[jacob erin-cilberto]

feels a mixture of both, but that is how i read it...coming to the piece with my background
feelings about all of this.

either way...it is a really good piece of work.
readers won't always get our intentions exactly...but as long as they take something away on a personal level...i always feel the poems find some success.
