Clatter of Bliss
Clatter of happiness fatten our ears with/
Spirited praises & glorifications.
Drums - alto saxophones - eject contents
Of heavenly beats & lyrics / Our feet know too many dance steps- As attestation to the lord
For the bell of another year jingle to our witness in glorious shape.
Hubbub of crackers strip the air off its scent - nothing smells but A Roasted Pork Sausage
The "Gbo-a" of a new year sends concern to the weak health of old mama(s) & papa(s)
The outcry threaten the ears of little babies/ Revealing Toothless smiles to the multiple colors birthed by the awful crackers
With our happiness tonight - won’t God’s ears be deafened by our noise?
