Ndubisi Chiagoziem Poet Rhyme

Siren Song

This song comes from some place

And its dancers, with hips up

Are going to the same place

And this song does not stop

 

Wither comes this song they dance

No one knows

Thither goes the sum who dance

Hope God knows

 

It is, the siren song

Finely tuned from some sweet lore

It is, the siren song

Whose dance is but a sweet chore

 

So enchanting is this song

That even they who cannot dance

Can be heard singing along

Joining the band at any chance

While the wind blows them, wildly on

And they heed no call on this trip

To God’s city; Nay to Babylon

For the song has hard its grip

 

Vices veneered as virtues

Prettified in bird suits

To conceal the grave grues

On its convoluted routes

 

Don’t dance, I say do not dance

Albeit that it allures

For thereto, lies dire durance

Lavished with ligatures
