AN ALLITERATIVE QUATRAIN
could centralised cardiographic cascade competitively colorize complaisant casement
from flavourful facultative fiendish fission find fortuitousness favor
ruling : restively rhythmic reading reflectorise restorative respite
shrewdly sidearm saddleback spat submerse scatter sycophantic saporous sioux spirits sextant
How many will stand up for their Faith
when the devil gets his grip
agendas change
There is nothing but control over certain rights
in mind, body and broken spirits
deluded by false humility
Take a good hard look at yourself fake or real
certain symbolic gestures like pretending to care about welfare
at what point of living can you identify with the Truth
How much has been centralised around the culture of death
voodoo doctors and weird science shape the landscape of words
Just because you have letters to your name
it means nothing when lying is caught in the trap
bought loyalty bears little credits to preach about anything
how far around the bend will people go before springing back
Trust the government some will say your welfare is in their hands
I know in whom my trust remains and forever will to cut a long story short
symbol of power, arrogance, conceit,
currency that transmits fraud and deceit,
once it had value that was backed by gold
the fiat’s value has dropped many fold,
does not hold value printed on its face,
with growing inflation in losing race,
Do not fool yourself with what’s in your bank,
in savings devalues like leaking tank,
tries to stand taller than Pound or Rupees,
one day it will be brought down to its knees,
future of true money lies in bitcoin,
one day it will kick dollar in the loin,
non centralised and has real value,
a blockchain ledger so long overdue,
forget dollar, fiat that is printed,
invest in bitcoins, clever maths minted!

Seed of anthropology
Blue-print of ancient antique
Antecedence of brown skin politic
Deity to pre-colonial centralised culture
A republic with institutionally adorned grace for violence
Bodija (they are ever ready)
Awon ti ogun koleko; undefeatable and resilient in battle
Ibadan the light to many
The beauty of brown in head covering
Ibadan the birth-place of ancient civilization
The unbreakable wall of Yoruba defence
The home of warriors,
the seat of bashorun,
even the Lords of Britain knew Ibadan for it art and act of unique diplomacy.
If there ever was a city
If the brown continent was to have a Paris
If love was to have a home
My rest and comfort will be my city; IBADAN.
Centralised survailance, concrete division,
Altered states or pre-determined road.
Eyes are plenty, our voluntary will,
Concrete specimens of men, perfection of the imperfect.
Das Uber-mensch, learned, ingrained wish,
Whether body or mind, the image haunts.
Fallable or diseased? Where is the harmony in shared breath?
Walk in line, worship the 1%, nanny's eye will act as guide.
