De Mask of Tomorrow- Iboju Ola

De Mask of Tomorrow
 ìbòjú ?la

 

Fiddling with the freckle petals

revealed a hidden grin

with frightful fangs

dripping off hateful bile

we ponder about tomorrow

waiting to pounce

with vengeful anger

on each sorrowful souls

gorged on all sides

by constant burdens

he was meant to stumble

bewailing his flustered solace

with his bending wills

he was meant to fumble

with the clouds

dropping its curtains

he was meant to fail
