Sango can be heard
thundering in the skies;
Oya, winding and storming
here on earth!
Ogun, powering furnace
in forge!
Yet, we turn deaf ear!
What’s more,
we turn blind eye,
pretending not to see!
If we did see
or never lost our auditory system,
did we also lose
our sense of speech?
We continue living in pretence,
enjoying dessert,
in our
uncomfortable comfort zones!
We are inhabiting
our fool’s paradise!
Obviously in denial
of our world
being in shambles!
Can we have a United Nations
without united peoples
where
respect for human dignity
justice
peace
and,
freedom of movement
reign?
We are having
wars, both armed and trade
inflation,
hunger,
maiming,
and killings!
Human traffickers,
slavers,
trade warriors,
murderers,
and
crooks recycled as politicians
have taken over!
We seem to be reliving
Noah’s days!
It might be good we remember,
we just need a crazy man
to send us into
apocalypse
by “pressing”
the nuke’s button!
