Oh Lad Why

Oh lad why?
Steve Anc

My mind never stops querying
Abeyance strike when it relaxes

I suck darkness from the dry sky,
as I beheld the disgusting image


Spreading accross my chest
Penetrating beyond the border of my spirit
Pulsating as the frequency of a hummingbird
With untold vexation hung on my eyeballs,
as the lids permit


Norms, dogma and Africa relay themselves
Fraternity and affinity danced along
Illiteracy or norms puffed out from my breath


I enlarge my inquisitiveness,
trying to reach for the source
why the lad is in mess


I wish I can skin the reason
Slice it as my fruit salad
Saliate the unknown longing

My soul stretched thin like
trampoline
Asking, "oh lad why?"
