Poetic Justice : The Drum Beat of a Hero

 Saturday, December 24, 2016.

The drum beat of a hero

Just like a thunder strike

Many hear only the sound

But the wise, hold on

To know the direction

The drum beats heavily

Like a yearly first rain

Many see only the rain falling

But the wise, pause

To find within the rain

A hidden treasure

The drum beat of a hero

sounds like a moonlight story

Many heard only the imaginative

But the wise, figure out

The teachings and secrets

Buried in the story

The drum sound flows

Like a chilling breeze

Many see only the mask unvail

But the wise, stand

And see the revelation

The drum forms a dancing stage

Many see only the crowd

But the wise, clap for liberation

The drum, moves like a footpath

Many see only the steps 

But the wise look and follow the lead

The drum, spreads Like a disease

To the beast That feeds on human blood

Many see only the sick

But the wise, mourns

The dark days behind

The beast, when to be offer

A tears of agony

On a joyful day

Of the east song

Of victory

Returning victoriously 

To the land

Of the rising sun!!

All hail Biafra!
