On the Other Side
SEQUEL: Sebastian Jnr Ft Poet Em Em
On the other side, lies
Blind heart: swimming in his sweat
Heading to verge of nowhere in eve
To dredge his sepulchre
For who knows? He said
Of what rain the fountain would pour
On the other side, stuck
Half-closed effete eyes,
Fueling by fountain of "at least",
to sleep not.
But to rubberneck life in reverse
So tell the snake
To not walk his path.
This is a rock with pebbles
For legs with no nails walks not
Sip not with him
From the gloomy tears
He seeks in night..
Oh!..Sit on the other side of terrace,
Is a prisoner of war: whose eyes might not catch 'morrow
(2)
Where chicks are entitlement
to wild eagles - daily meal,
and the latter are carcasses
to sky hunters for fat belly
Where eye-catching dreams
could only come true
at times the nose grunts
and during every moment
all bodies strike poses
for clear and clean shot
Yes, this very side
we value sewerages over beverages
open skies over thatched roofs
and whenever the moon visits
our lips widen their coast
