Poem
October is Dancing she is a trap of joy for a mark to those tunes tapping on line stepping out in her black before the white for a remark for the dance shoes redefine the effect of all the months lack in the meantime at kitchen advancing Old and young months were watchin' her as she prance in peaceful steps on the dance floor so cool and sizzling to hear up the need to confer for fire to keep warm the weather and not burn for war the joy and courage the months have in the year which is the interest of their purpose counting days to number moments and minutes of cheer and the exposure and enrichment appraise Serious music from funny act labels young minds mischievous youths how the hell's rain labels heaven's dews fire and its own the curlers pure desire that was a just lie tied up as a fact to keep away from blowing hearts, truths with which head for a new place sit upon redesigned of little difference in old baker's apron Knock knows knocks knotting knowledge while whistles whisper whim whacking villagers' vaults vulnerably via villains bragging beyond boasting bossy bell flooded flowers faith flying flaws hiring hasty hatred healing headlines retiring reunion's rights relieved repulse sitting soothing stresses safe separately Now the dance floor is a bouncing stillness on a muting lousy sounds jumping to dance but go off whenever trials are seen as illness death tricks set its hounds that the hade may laugh how we wish a new Odùduwà but Yoruba is stumping on ìwà Our shoes now become red R.I.P to those bloods shed The heroes efforts are seen Remain forever in our green The lights that can go dim The lines and stanza in the hymn May these effects be fruitful Even though it's seen unlawful Note: This poem is in memory of those that lost their lives in the peaceful protest of ENDSARS in Nigeria on 20th October, 2020. May their souls rest in peace
