Of Shadows and Spirits

Of those things that glamour for clarity Of those roads that sipped dead calls Of those shadows that retrieved retributions panache of the smoke that chased blunt images, We are here for the death of our dead ones, We are here to breeze out bodies from the ghost of our forefathers giving out beggars of spirits. We are here for the sake of humanism and individualism found among the seasoned weather. We are here to head home from the figures of fingers crossed in the blossoming crossroads. We are just here for your sake &your future. We are this spiced pumpkin skin driving impunity, Driving the heavens of our lunatic fringe benefits. When these spirits visited our forebearers, We called them runners of evil in the night, In the morning, we called them cats of love, But the white brought a foreign god to us We sold our shrine of mystic miseries to them Now, they took our miseries to make names And we transport their stupidity back to them Thinking that they will accept it back from us. This celestial aboundment is foregone fire Forging the spirit of the world into our curriculum. We are the timeless wrong that the villagers sing of along the Abiriba-Nkporo road. Black Butler of generational curse we brought Intentionally trying to visit the future vintages. We are the cause of our own blood spilling through the thin walls of our shadows and spirits. ©John Chizoba Vincent From_A_Pen_Refusing_frustrations
