Afolabi Muideen Poet Rhyme

What a Betrayer

O! You are naive
You are barbaric indeed
In you, I am disappointed
We sight each other everyday
We smile to one another each day
We fondle one another day by day
Aren’t we married for years?
In number, it was thirty three plus three years
O! Electricity
You are but faulty
You bit me with your electricity teeth
Just as snake bites
Believe me
Please trust me
Pray I shall not stand
As I lay flatly on this ground
Enjoying pain of your thunder bit
After cascaded from long distance poll
As long as the firmament
Laughing though tears drool
You are defunct!
I mean it you are extinct!
O! Poetry soup, don’t plead me
Don’t plead me
Okay I shall show mercy
For my fellow poets to viewing their poetry
They need electricity

The nest she left me in 9 months ago, nursing the painful exit of our baby bird. Afolabi Muideen April 4, 2017 at 2:23 AM Thank you for loving my poem. she is but barbaric for doing so. I love your warm comment. Let's keep 9ja Flag Flying. Blessings.
