Mixed feelings

Tears stream down uncontrollably
Joyous sadness and sweet pains
Pain of motherhood and fatherhood
Joy of freedom from fiefdom

Bundled and tangled emotion
What could be vis a vis what is
Unutilized or underutilised
Potentials
Oh my country, my motherland

I hope to see you
Soaring like eagle once again
Unlike a blind bat wrongly inverted
Rise shine sweet green pasture

- Poet Isaac-Kola
