Dues ex Machina!

Little did I know I have a clue,

It began as a minor flu

But steadily it got worse,

It turned out to be a human virus;

An Amhara pandemic curse

Enveloping a large swath of land as it cut across.

Causing havoc and mass distress.

 

Videos From Around The World

Once inflicted 

In many life related fields,

Such was the mind set,

I began to lose interest.

For a start the flamboyant lifestyle,

The energetic interactive relations with mates

Became the first casualties to note.

Following these I lost appetite

And the emaciated lions began to look so tight.

For many years I stayed indoors

And within the bounds of the house arrest;

Not to be seen and no one to talk with.

My parents did everything they could,

But forlorn was the case,

They gave up in the end.

Worse, they took it for granted

I might as well be dead and buried.

There was a battle in their minds 

 

In a way, justifiable was their attitude, 

Given the magnitudes:

Saudade turned decathect;

Anhedonia pouring cold over heartsease;

Nepenthe inhumed ataraxia not to breathe.

 

Years past-by but hope fallen into desuetude,

They were mentally prepared to accept,

A doomsday fate;

In the hope to reduce the  dolor,

They could live without.

 

But suddenly after years of slumber,

My blood vessels began to turn red,

And one morning I stretched my limbs,

And jumped out of the bed.

My father who is now dead,

But alive then;

Shot blank range on the head;

You know who?

You need not be told!

 

Loudly blazoned,

And announced, "At last!

My son has risen.”

 

Then I took the first step

Walked to my job, in the hope

To carry on where it had stopped.

So also I walked to my old friends

And began to talk;

And showed the smile that was long gone and lost.

More: I flexed my muscle to re-claim

The Land the predators had unlawfully gained.

 

Tempus fugit; waylay;

You may say:-

“What caused for your blood

turn rubicund?”

 

When I saw a child 

Who Lost her innocence

Upon her legs blown away;

When I saw Another,

turned a career;

Looking after sibling minors 

Following their parents murder

Cris de coeur a child couldn’t bear;

Mia Kadera wholesale murder,

And to cover up a dirty game played over,

By incriminating others!

 

I am a kachina:

Deus ex machine;

Brought to insufflate

And bridge the missing lacuna!

 

Demons can cause damages

But will always end up savaged.
