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!
