SHACKLES OF THE MIND... - -Amami Henry
It’s 31st night
And the euphoria is here again
Fill the temples, fill the mosque
Chant, chant, and chant
Tell yourself to turn a new leaf, like we don't know the circle.
January 14 beckons
And a friend is yet to see the hoax
Living in denial, mouthing a confidence
With a voice that carries no conviction
Haggard look that confirms troubled mind.
The games are on again
The odds are stacking up the bounty
Big spoils for half a penny of 90minutes.
The sane banking on the deranged
For the lucky numbers
Pick your figures
Pick your colour and
Await the draw.
