POETRY | Into The Gloom by Felicia Ann

POETRY | Into The Gloom by Felicia Ann

Share this article via


So, into the gloom
we move-
slipping and sliding
we Stagger and Scramble,
while people caught
in ‘Negara-tu’
clinging, spilling
out of steely rooms.

People; Removed:-
A cycle of
Fanning fumes
too dangerous
yet forced to consume.

Into the gloom
See now – our choices
of men, of ideals-
Another nation
deplumed, ‘Negara-ku’.
Restless in tombs
while, Greed loomed
Like fashionable costumes
Candidates conceived by…
Who?

So into the gloom we move-
Are we heading for doom?
Now more than ever,
We must be ready to Bloom.
