THE KALASHNIKOV'S INVENTION.
The voice that speaks faster than words do
Boom! The sound it makes
Puts a market in graveyard silence.
The Kalashnikov's Invention,
Placed in the hands of the plotters of wrongs
That makes the panic of the nations grow strong.
In times of election,
It becomes the hoes and cutlasses
Of the youths of the nation.
The weapon of our Black Uniformed Force
That believes the Note's collection is all by force
Obey their rules of collection
And make no fuss!
Or else, your truths,
Would be made a false.
Their appearance with the Kalashnikov's Invention
Place palpable fear in the heart of youngsters
They care not, if they aim at a nation
Or family's stars
Like they did to Kaka of the Remo stars.

CONCISE SUMMARY OF THE POEM
“ THE KALASHNIKOV'S INVENTION”.
By: Saula sheriffdeen Abdussalam.
The poem “The Kalashnikov's Invention”. Is a twenty two lines poem, written after Mikhail Kalashnikov, (10 November 1919 -23rd December 2013) a Russian/Soviet small weapons designer and inventor of the Popular assault rifle known as AK47.
However, the poem emphasizes the abuse of the Kalashnikov's weapon designed for protection in the execution of series of societal and political vices. It also spotlights the rascality and brutality of our Arm Of The Law, who abuse their power on the general masses whose rights protection are expected to be executed but rather executed.
The title of the poem also symbolises “The power” in the hands of the privileged that had been arbitrarily abused on their subjects. Moreso, it talks about the use of the nation builders as instrument for the execution of the myriad of the malignant political vices.
