The wicked hero
Ukeme Akpan 1983 (Ikono)
He did not die yet he decayed
Oozing out from the necrotic body
Was a polluting aroma into the airspace
It was wasn't irritant or pungent
But disgusting, offensive and nauseating.
Offers: aid and alms located him
Yet early morning evil showed him rejection
Prognosis was neither to recover nor recuperate
He's still alive when bioscavengers did his funeral
Life has ended, remaining the wicked hero.
