Poem
(for chikbok girls four years after elegies of lost) And we opened the book of remembrance again Tickling all ears that are designed to be deadly. We filled the cups & buckets with tears of blood, Bloody tears as the cloud rises from dark night & the horizon of our lives radio out our prayers in pleasure & pleas recording poetry into broken Rhythms of the kings bird' songs singing elegies untold. We recoiled this pages of cries into folded arms. Lost is our liberty ephemeral into chaos. This light of darkness are now printed in our palms of history tormenting our own feelings. they left home through the corruption of their father's land. You know, their lies ferried them into Sambisa to go & tell a tale of their crimes. the chromosomes of their pigments lacked the bravery within the wrinkled nose of their cheeks. Lives are buttered fireflies &worms of mediocre... We may not know how pains taste until untitled chapters of sorrow unfold in our lives to seek revengeful voyage of our sins towards our home. We televised their lies on the national televisions, tilted the head of our cocked brain into gadgets in a ballroom of miscreants clothing our beliefs. I opened this book of remembrance again, For my lazy sisters that struggles effortlessly amidst leaves and shrubs of looting leaders. for their tears composed a musical notes, for their fight created astraying street steer I held upto these fallin' memories in a graveyard into the abstract demon of my noble moralities, into black races, into an abstract journeys. brittle of the papers written in absence of our ourselves, in the pictures of our lost self issues. we will gather these soothsayers to the cloud to sooth out those prilgrim girls in the moon. till then, let this dance be of survival &revival, of those deaf & dumb girls kept in the bosom of emptiness. they made them voiceless like the pages of a blank books but we know all their magic tricks in the closet of their ignorance. No chikbok, no Dapchi girls but looting politics, Politics that has strange mouth & shadows. Until this madness is cleansed from our souls Point towards your chambers & crack your mind We are mocked movies trying to be seen by all, a documented fairy tale in the heart of all. ©John Chizoba Vincent From_A_Pen_Refusing_frustration
