The Poem MY COUNTRY IS INSANITY
I found myself in a country
where naked drummers with stinky
mouths carry the dreadlocks of citizens
to the bush
Where Sambisa swallowed Leah
Sharibu and annihilated the
mortality of Abuh Ali to leave
us with a kaleidoscope of raped sorrows
I found myself in a country where
Sambisa seduced and inflicted pains
in the orgasm of virgin boys who
went to school to learn.
Where virgin girls were kidnapped
in the orgasm of the night to give a cowgirl to melancholic and fugitive raiders of homes who chastised and preached with guns and death
Where death lived in us and we
scratch her libido with fear and pain
A country where Maryama's skirt is
covered with the blood of a virgin
Dele and Giwa are unrest until a
taste of her pride is tasted with force
A country where Chioma can't bury
her legs in the ejaculated soil of
Yasmin because sentiments have
perched her evil in our minds
I live in a country where
leaders bath with corruption and
Cinderella's justice is served for dinner
every summer and winter
A country where brutality wears
a hat to attack the homes of
innocent citizens with death walking
like a madman with sanity to anyone
who speaks of justice.
A country where politics is a mad
man who runs naked to oppress men clothed in truth!
