Let's Ponder a Little I

My thoughts came up again Like the rush of a heavy a rain My finger tips swollen with symbols Drained in paints of inspired constructs. I have seen a poison bought cheaply And kills in a twinkle done twinkly I have seen of a massacre done A man under this sun. I know of a poison bodily bottled Inherently laden and mottled Ten times massacre In abandon and without care. I have seen a company of bush meats That roams in pride and strange feats I know of the dread of a disease That has crowned many their lives to cease. I have heard of a prostitutes’ notification Stripped of their personification An animalized synonymy ‘’BUSH MEATS ACADEMY’’ I have seen the beasts in men Like the draught in lions’ den Many out of many Dry wells without comfort any. I have seen the husbands’ experience Where anger holds their manly evidence Too hot to control their fisting prowess A cowardly way to husbandly express. I have seen the sheer foolishness in beauty That robs off a woman’s intellectual quality And the integrity in ‘’Iwalewa” What then is beauty polished every hour? I have seen beautiful Agbeke chew her husband And dashing Abike throw the food with one hand The noise of Orekelewa Aduke has woken me, My standby alarm every early morning.
