Parading the Unkempt
Countless in our days
Of lives seize with easy.
Alas! Guns off fashion
For many of them
Fathoms its symptoms.
Enters the Polished clean hands
Reddish with stabbing ,
Answers they have not.
Dollars dump in bin
In search of them
With forensic eyes
And better long nose
To sniff out the doers.
With fanfare, we welcome the
Three wise men from white color above.
A vote lost in confidence
To them of our kingdom
For ceaseless lives snuffed off
We , to them . . .
Is hiss of no confidence.
In a while, the drama begins
With impotent synonyms and faces
The black men with rod unveils
Parading them the unkempt
Before our very eyes . . .screen
Sown them a toga of suspects
A little while off,
Breeze blow it off rough
And end comes for the drama.

It was packaged specially to appraise
The incessant political killings in our land,
With the piece emanating from the death
Of Engineer Funsho Williams.
