Smoker Ravages Uma

Down through the greener woods of Uma, Through the lions’ den to the green mamba’s palace, Near the dik dik’s habitat, As the antelope took off to escape the rage, Of the approaching leopards whose paws protruded, Upon the trees were vultures the street sweepers, Freely interweaving chores with weaver bird choirs, Whose melodious tuning meant zero to the jungle- Whose circle a train man decided to cremate, Elephants hitting their tusks clumsily- To secure escape routes as rhinoceros tails wagged by, On their bellies, precious pythons unwounded their rings, To fit in the general jungle athletics As the dark pan paper like smoke covered Rapidly converting the small milieu into- A small tentative night before a see through, Thorough plights epitomized the sodomic tragedy And the Gomorra wails. As he moved down the valley to Naili Center Nyama choma’s aroma spread in the setting As occupants of a small matatizo City Saw through to Lake Matatizo bounds- Silence in Uma.
