Curses Upon Curses

Osagie Emmanuel 1999 (Edo state)

Free verse
An apocalypse of the  hamites,                    In the days  of it's  age.                 Remember! remember! remember!    Flame, still appealing  flame.                                
                                                         Provocation has  made me to see vain things;                                                                  I saw pains falling on pains,                            I saw royalty being slaved,                              I saw the dark world  coming towards hell,  I saw feets fleeing towards golgotha;    This is a fact carried on.                         
                                                            
At it's coming, what shield contends  ?Rhetorically  hypnosis of no  confidence. Oh! Poor curses upon  curses !         Thinking  shadows  will feel the  sun.
