Four gunshots go off

I wasn't even there

Silent Night
We remember
That night of horror
When the future was stamped and the cogs were slain
When the execution ground shone red with blood
The blood of the helpless cogs
We remember the horrors
Gunshots like fireworks
The cries of cogs like wolves in the night
As devil's favourite demons feed on raw flesh
We remember the depressed winds
The howling of the tortured

Gunshots
Immortal is the writer’s eyesight,
ball of rolled up phrases and rhythms;
Particle of sand through fingertips
portal of blurred pictures for poems;
Meant to be captured in her wordplay
spent she sifted through blue lit thoughts;
Disorient edges slip to focus,
torment is soothed her pen fires gunshots.

In That Moment
We are in that moment sweet darling
The wonderment of pain is upon us
The trees are going to wail as they grumble
Soldiers footsteps will be heard as they fumble
We are in that moment sweet loved one
The horrendous flashback of pain will descend upon you
You stood tall way back when
But

The Third World War
It's midnight and perhaps late April,
The gunshots thundered sporadically across the roof,
Suddenly, an awkward silence crammed all the rooms.
Favour Akachukwu Onyekachi ran to the lavatory for safety,
But saw something creeping on the wall.
It was as if the creature was coming towards her.
She could not switch on the electric bulb,
It was few inches away from where

Gunshots In My Neighborhood
Kansas City is over her head with joy
First the Royals won the World Series
Now the Chiefs have conquered the Super Bowl.
We are comparing stories.
What we were eating.
How hard we were yelling.
How long we heard fireworks on Sunday.
One twenty-six a.m. I told them with pure happiness.
That's nothing one of our favorite female busdrivers said.
In my neighborhood

Murder of treasures,
Of atlanta pints of blood
