Perturbed
by Deckillah Omukoba
Our world ruined
Created in authenticity
Perturbed
The birthplace for the precious
The spot for clarity
Carriers of unknown recipes
Served alien broths
And whispered free thyself
Redefine kitchen’s lane
Question the status quo
Tainting simplicity
Evacuating her majesty
Obliterating her hearth
Her quest, her oblivion
Substituting royal aprons
For corporate codes
The morning rush
The traffic lights
The tag of war
To ladder’s top
The thrusting of the meek
On wildest fronts
Minutes for meals
Deadlines for bedtime
The trappings of a world
On Skyscrapers’ awesome frailty
The constant risk to raise the peak
That bedrock core foundation
Built on stood
Perturbed
About DECKILLAH OMUKOBA
Biography
My name is Deckillah, am 26 years old and a lover of poetry. I studied Literature in my Undergraduate, even though i on purpose evaded all poetry classes because i considered poetry to be hard. I later on realised that it was the one way that i fully and easily express myself., Am currently a communications major in graduate school and i still find poetry to be the one thing i do when school work becomes overwhelming and my mind wanders., Poetry is a way i find meet to tell a story, eduacate or pass across my opinion about subject matters. I write my poems in English as well as Swahili which is my National language., I keep a blog where i write and post my poems, my facebook account is also one of the sites that i post my poerty for my firends to read. I brought some of my work to my graduate class and it received such a warm welcome from my colleagues as well as my professor., I would like to see my poems read by the world, its the ultimate way i can tell the stories of the world to the world.
