Pandevil

Amatareotubo Mozimo 1973 (Lagos)

Free verse
It is the harbinger
The forerunner of end time
Set to down tools
Set to over take

Lonely streets
Bouts of breathlessness
Fatigued from faint attacks
Mumbled in voices of grunts

Mourns of the widowed
Cowed by malfeasance
Cascaded by doom
Falling from the sky

The anti- thesis is real
Like wild polio spree
On sabbatical with love birds
Pitching tents with bleakness
