Above Banishment

The walls heard and turned deaf Heaven swore never to bear witness The sun saw and went weeping Hands turned loads on peoples head. Thou king has a foundation Of his defecation on the thrown The palace workers have choices Who defines the calamity? The ofor disappears Another is caved The throne is empty King is on it. The cock craws The head turns a sacrifice. People die ignorantly for known reason Parrots nest, six feet below In tears we celebrate The undemocratic rule of abomination To elucidate, a junta A woman has eaten the anus of a fowl. Ndi okenye, are silent. http://www.okerekebest.hpage.com
