Linden: Age of Innocence

copyright 2011 K. Omodele

Gentle breeze hoists clouds, lifts away a storm
Parakeets chat harmonize innocence
Boats glide lazily ‘pon a black river stream

Sun-molten, tar road winds thru innocence
Trains haulin’ bauxite ricket up a storm
Three times each day a horn bellows a stream

Now time’s rolled by like that black river stream
did glide. Life’s a bowed coconut tree in storm
which snap-whips all semblance of innocence.

copyright 2011 K. Omodele
