#Lockdown: Laidback Passion by Femi Morgan

Laidback Passion

follow me on twitter
I will followback
When last did you check the wikis.
It is all
Laidback passion.

There is no
Charisma mahatma
You cannot do it on facebook
There’s no matter-nitty there
All coverlets
Worth a button of words
With no sweat.

What wearies a sage
Is to be born in times
Like this
Bludgeoned by tools
That lift not a strand of hair.

Words that slew
Are blunt, come to cups that fill.
Noise is essential.

Where are the days of triller-manilla?
