Black in white

OLU-AKANBI ERIC 2006 (lagos)

Soliloquy
A chameleon it is, living in a painted with different colors
A wolf in a sheep's fur coming out to be crowned king and deceives every one with his manifestos so that every one will praise him and see him as an angel but in the actual fact a demon
He covers rotten apples in a golden plate so that everyone will see the plate and hail him while they are ignorant of its content
Black in white
What is your reward after throwing dust in everyone's face? You end up in a devouring pit of ruin where no one will stretch a hand to help you out

About this poem

I wrote this poem due to my observation of the ongoing corruption of men who yarns to be in position of power.
