THEY'RE POETS
Sub theme: Poo-Ate
Akanbi Oluwole Muko Muko (with Paciolo Pen Saint)

who's given you the lord's ship 
over those with voice that stiffles within its cord? 
who's claded you with the armor & shield to roar
vehemently, like you've got a second skin
to wear    off       your bones and ankles
withstanding the heat? 
it pierced both from the intestine & came like blows smashing your goals, ego and where you ought to go. 
       you said      here's home     who's given you a plot to raise that wall so high?
      a little above you think        you     are? 
who's given you that? 
when?        why?       &      how?  

the poet you think you are        ate another's poo
yours sat still     walking into stillness    &   pollutes the circumference of its sphere 
hey!    you        you    a r e       poo eater.

Fair point, I think. Expression from everyone reigns in a site like this. Seems like a bad taste is in your mouth, Ismail.!
