African parrots

Sam madeyin 1991 (Ogun States)



Years go by tiny throes and thrilled troubles
waging it's tails again like village hunters dog,
mind filled with nights mares no one could be told
Wandered in the course of loneliness as rainbow in the cloud surfaced
African parrots in a cage of 'I would have known' thus felt uncomfortable, thus I was fold
Silencer thrives to still me, I hardly barked, I hardly gazed
Hungried about what's happening all round my vicinity
shut they my eyes less I show it to the world
But my thoughts are heavyweights than even knuckle of worldly fighers

O, Let me talk, please, I would you let me!
you outstretched my lips yet I want my mind be poured
If so be you're not an evils men, why did you trying in otherwise to stopped me
Not good as even stammering Moses, no neither,
 and my tongue too withhold in interested prideful toured
Of which you go, and make carricatured of whole things in ignorance to our Nobel country men

Come and see them, voyagers of vainglory
Don't come near them less you be stained
Be restrained, I conjures you be restrained
Don't come near them less you be stained!
