Okonkwo Ifeanyichukwu Poet Sonnet

Tower of Mirage

There is a man that kills
He is blind he can not see
There is a man that destroy
Without weapons
There is a woman that enslaves
She enslaves blindly
There is a killer of all races
This killer is as old as man
Yet he does not grow old
This killer has no shadow
This killer is called ignorance
