Black elephant in the sun
As the biblical tower of Babel
Hordes of twisted tongues
Infest width, breadth
From Ajegunle slums
To the plateaus of Jos!
I inflict Kindness
to punish each act
of violence
Pre dominanced
Predatory
Vermin
I infest Love
in each space
in and between
I inflict Life
There has to be
a way
Out
of
Here
Pink skies infest the starry dark.
Pest sprays reject the fireflies’ spark.
Bald eagles chopped by green windmills.
Right whales lie beached as sonar kills.
Rage that I can no longer view,
Bids my sense of wonder adieux.
I want to splat you
Sir, sucker pinching veins
With itch, mosquito!
My tongue pierced skin cries
And merciless you zip drink
A bump, your tombstone!
Sizzling in my ear
Halt these needs to sense me what germs
Infest your entrails
Settle still in place
Slippery rogue, test my swat
Awful mess, my blood!
No matter how many frowns infest your life
No matter how many tears dim your life
No matter how many failures, plunge you down further
No matter how much hurt, wounds every inch of you
No matter how ugly your past & how foggy your present is, Be Thankful
Inspired by the story of Dr Stellah Bosire-Otieno
patronizing
condescending
attitudes
grew within
the heart
till one day
they began to
run amuck
then as they
moved further
and further inwards
it began to infest
the inner workings
of the soul
till finally it
was free to
roam
through
out the
interpersonal
encounters of
the past
within the
land of
lost love
MAGGOT MONOTONY
on the precipice I survey
the sea of
stores and casual faceless
crowds, I the planet
lost in the tide
swarming with skulls
thrashing the facades
restless brows
maggots infest the nucleus
until the centre shrieks
like a sheet in
the night, startled by
the intense glare that
neon signs cast
upon blankness and
pointless vows

Companionless, unloved,
abhorrent creatures
that are the slime of cyberspace.
Lurking behind the fortification
of their keyboards,
they infest innumerable sites
with despicable, foul-mouthed,
rants,and remarks
in an attempt to inflict
as much suffering as possible.
Craven snipers, using words
to kill spirits, talent and dreams.
Never would they come
face to face with those
they try to disparage.
Expel those bitter pangs of unrequited love
Lest the pungent taste of gall infest the soul,
And steal the joy unattended in your heart
For love that’s lost is seldom ever reclaimed.
By fast-held pining, sorrow, and crying spells
Consider how quickly your lover went away,
Likely, to embrace another with open arms
Shedding nary a tear nor suffering the loss.

"Skeleton Tree"
withered branches wane
buried bones beneath tree trunk
mummified death chant.
legends lifeless limbs
haunted hurricane swallowed
breath of bloom denied.
whispered memories
hidden skeletal remains
infest tainted tree.
brittle branches bough
parched to perish in black dust
screams in effigy.

Don’t get too close
You’ll crumble
It’s not the life she chose
But she doesn’t grumble
You’ll turn pale
You’ll become ash
This isn’t a tale
You’ll be gone in a flash
If you get near
You have a last request
Steer clear
Or death will infest
She’ll choose your fate
If you take another stride
She’ll find the right bait
And a grave she’ll provide
I warned you
I wasted my breath
Everything she touches
Turns to death

At the wind's behest
At the sun's command
Swarming worms infest
Legs and arms and hands
Flesh from bone undressed
Withers in the sand
Denser forms divest
Of filaments and strands
As rigid limbs relax
Bound by sky and land
Mouth and throat contract
Chest and brain expand
Set free by their collapse
Fulfilled by new demands
Enshrined as they're enclasped
By rasping sea and sand

An untruth is told
A seed is planted
My body is the soil
The roots infest my veins
The seedling sprouts
I’m overgrown with
Weeds
Tell a not lie
Planted is a seed
Soil is my body
My veins become the roots
A sprouting seedling
I’m a flowering
Garden
Split me in half
Save the flowers
Take the weeds
That strangles me
Uproot them all
My veins scream
The garden is gone
And the weeds left a scar
I’m just unplanted soil.
Joyful Santa’s heart was twirling with pure happiness.
He was on top of the world, for life was better than the best.
He danced and sang and gave everyone a feeling of delight.
In truth he was hiding sadness that might to others severely infest.
But by hiding his sadness, he had completely fooled his heart.
He began feeling better and better, although worlds apart.
From his own family, because of the pandemic and gloom.
At least I can see them on a monitor, he thought, for I have Zoom.
