Nigeria

Pulcha Terra.

Magnificent and beautiful

you were cursed with your seeds
who go in circles generations from generations
entrenched in greed
and destruction, we die
like chicken decapitated
we are burnt like decaying wood
no one remembers no one fights for us
we all are dispensable.

sixty years of ruling and we have killed ourselves
more than any one else has.
Oh Nigeria, will it be a curse to raise my seeds amongst your twisted seeds?

Rizpah

  You stare at the fallen in unspeakable grief, and recall the first steps, the tiny hug, the baby smell all the little details a mother knows beneath the terebinth tree oh Rizpah, the pleasure of all eyes the delight of Saul in his prime what have you become? fighting birds of prey and jackals as they stalk the decaying  flesh of your flesh... Amoni was the quiet one,  Mephibosheth the witty one, who laughed even in sadness Here they lay eyes agape in unspeakable horror, hung like thieves Saul would gather them in the small of his arms, and they, beauties to behold would giggle in delight Rizpah, your existence is that of demented reality and excruciating dreams in the middle of insanity The Jackals have come again, aiming to savour the carcasses of your decaying sons,  I stand weakened by hunger and sorrow, and shoo them away again. God of Israel,  take this pain away
