Debris At the Golden Gates
Tainted wits... blurred in
clarity,
a madman's coronation... our
country's plight.
atlas, we are home, choked in
parity
another to our last 51, the
journey's so far.
can we break the walls?
This imagination, a shattering
throne.
when city's celebrate a
thousand birth-years,
then we recollect another
bloodshed...
52 million heads in 52 dying
years.
what a shame!
My country of birth
civilized cannibals, through
kingdoms of ancient gods
to masquerades in
government house...our
golden gates.
BOKO HARAM? lies.
another lie,
Can of worms... debris at the
golden gates,
At 27,I look older than my
country's age
what years of tears had done
to my teenly skin,
my skipping heart would have
been younger in Queensland.
Another death rate
on our golden birth...52?
decades of misuse... reckless
abandonment,
while the slim pigs eats
porridge,
fattening to unconsciousness in
American clinics
once parading as good
Shepherds, we are all gone,
pocketted in their fat pockets.
52 years of ferocious reigns,
when he's gone..
yet another one
Olusegu..abach, babangi,
jona... No calling names,
Yet they all wear the same
masks.
Maggots at the golden
gates...snakes at the states
secretariates,
traditional money-bags...
nothing is left to cry for.
we are finished dry...
the tears are all gone...
though not fools, we only
watch.
