THE REDEFINED | Written by: John Beloved

Aided by ignorance
We were captivated
Our polite response to illiteracy
Succours our loot
To our masked redefiners.

So appealing was their arrival
Clothed in clean intentions
 And an unknown underneath
With deep grin and looming smile.

Theft lying quietly in them
With an open smile of bartering
We unknowingly swapped and gave
Our treasure for designed rags.

Captives of naivety
Cajoled by our greed
We gifted our future
In the freewill of ignorance.

The infection of myopia
Tomorrow clear view
Is seen in a blurry state
We interestingly watched the unamusing.

In our crude state
We traded crude goods
Experts of the unknown
To learners of the known.
