MERT PERK have mastered the art of economizing diction. SUPERB. while his verses are turgid with grandiose reason. Every line is a blowing gun, smashing down walls of falsehoods, mass consumerism and torn lampposts hypocrisy. The granite hard truth glued in the bone and marrow of his poetry smacks the hypocritical humanity, in his quest to retain sanity and true consciousness on this our wretched earth crumbled by oppression, killings, racism and stigma. In another poem Perk plead with humanity to imitate God, here the Poet holds his sickle to remind the world of the vitality of dignity and integrity. After reading Perk, it dawned that surely the world has lost morality, morality is blown away by greediness, cheap conspiracy, violence and wantonly decadence. TIME OF THE POET compliment this insightful poetry by featuring the poet and his poesy in our publication. We always cherish to archive beauty, intellect, diverse ideas, promise and prowess. Poet MERT PERK is destined to the Poetry Promise land. Keep Writing, Aluta Continua- (Blurb by Mbizo CHIRASHA)
AT THE DAWN OF A REVOLUTION
At the dawn of a revolution
We’re crowded but useless
We’re even sustainable
But exhausted already our souls
And poor our natural resources
We’re modern
But in chain,
We’re the wise and the stupid
We’re not artificial
But at least emotional
Cos biological our receptors
At the dawn of a revolution
A take-over ceremony
Here is the revolution
O’ Humankind!
Here is the evolution
IMITATE THE GOD
Who says we’re born free
I deny to be
Things you see
Thousandth of the sea
Some buy the news
Me! I bite the dreams
Who cares, really?
About that silly harmony
You praise the bold
I praise the love
We imitate the God
Seeking the peace
