For Greatness and Freedom I Came

This poem is a bluesy-jazzy drama replete with metaphor, epic simile, analogy, personification, synecdoche, irony, satire, allegory, imagery, etc. These are some of the constituent ingredients with which the poet explores, vilifies, and turns topical events rocking the first quarter of the twenty-first century inside-out. From the beginning to the end, the poem flows non-stop like a river from its source to its mouth through discursive tensions and tangle of the world of politics: local, national and international.
