I saw a movie

Yesterday, we went to see a movie

Returning home, I marvelled at the creativity of the director and crew

I realized the movie was great because

Each one of us saw ourselves in that movie

Nobody spoke about the movie as we walked home

We all had a secret, personal relationship with the story

That we intend keeping private

Today again we went to see another movie

It was crap

Wondered who wrote that shit

The filmmakers portrayed a world which no longer exists

And a side to human nature that has evolved a long time ago

Like libation offered to invite ancestors to come witness an occasion

I offer this piece as libation

To their long lost touch with the modern world of sophistication

Drink this poem

An invitation to 21st century

A changing world

With people too busy to find time to die

    This is wonderful Benjamin. The lines: ‘We all had a secret, personal relationship with the story / That we intend keeping private’ makes it all the more intriguing!
