POETIC GLOBALECTICS: ODE TO POETRY OF PHILANTHOROPY


 

Alexander K Opicho

(Eldoret, Kenya; [email protected])

No place on earth is the center of world poetry

Each and every geo-point is a central geo-poetry

Each center in universal connexion and disconexion

 To one another in the poetic cobweb

Linking subaltern poetry to the paternal muse

That has the universe its philanthropic quoith

Spokes of culture the rivers flowing fresh blood

Into the life of poetry in the globaletic realm

Each cherishing the tempo in the song of otherness

African poetry feeding the world with lyrics of negretitude

As Russia of Europe in dystopia of whititude

 Sings to humanity the songs of French love

Paving the way for India to chant to the world

Into dinted dance of the British ways of the baby

Thrilling Latin America into the songs of Spain

That buried the poor dog behind a rich man’s house

Laughing Ameri-relasia at its poverty of culture

As the gods of money takes center stage

In the dynamics of globaletics.
