These Four Walls
As the night creeps in Apa ogwu
He fills anxious about his status
Hands all over my PC feasting on opportunities
They jerk their heads in refusal
They wallow in an empty space
They throw covers of letters on the altar of the chosen one
The blue frailled man is tired of working on the white landing mat
They transform their energy to wasted efforts
They throw them out to the cold arms of recession
Their heart broods in restiveness
Price tags changing themselves like clothes on the counter
Sharp cries and hunger are let loose to lay siege on the vulnerable
The big wings and long legs fly in and out like birds to conquer the machinations of life
Their thoughts are running riot in Apa ogwu as they are caught up in the shadow of reflection
They defuse the tension with a little dance of atilogwu
