Beasts On Two Legs

I heard a cry, A lad of four bled After having quenched Her Dad's libidinal thirst I saw the door open, Brother and sister walked out, Adam's forbidden apple having been eaten As instructed in the blood-house of money In New York I heard a cry, Woman was on woman While man and man got glowed In the vastness of democracy and human rights From Yaounde down to Abuja, I saw exposed human breasts, stomachs And laps in clothes made for whores In lands where emancipation is madness By 2035 while Camkingdom rises to shine, Breasts shall hang out, our Mums shall go naked, Eliminating unborns as ordained in Macputu... We are beasts on two legs! (Published in CHAINING FREEDOM, 2012)
