The Rythm.

Poor desolate Niger-Delta.
Patriach of pipeline explosions
and oil-spillages.

From tale to a tale
your days shorten,
and your dreams lay asleep
in the cold of shallow graves.

Though i think of you
as destiny`s child,
you neither come nor go away.

In all my grief,
you are the chief;
as one who gives 
all passion away.
