POEM: LET’S RUN TO ASO ROCK(2023)

in instablurt •  2 years ago 

Let's Run to Aso Rock.

Let's run like running bees to Aso Rock:
if we die, we die to live,
if we live, we live to die.

Let's run with adventure songs,
peradventure these gatekeepers of the Eden
will know they were meant to keep it and not to heap
treasures like wastebins.

Let's run to Aso Rock
for chiefs have set to themselves national cake
that thieves must not pertake of;
we must therefore run to Abuja before nightfall.

We must run and not faint before nightfall
or do you want to miss our coronation as chiefs of thieves?

Let's run when there is still so much to grab
for the hour comes when crumbs will not fall like nightfall

We may fall by the wayside
but we must not forget:
we live to die and die to live.

We must therefore not die here when there is an unholy feast going on there
these wings of purity have left us yawning for too long
And therefore must take on the form of doppelgangers.

Let's run to Aso ROCK,
Aso Rock or House of Rogues?
Rock. Rock? yes, rock...
that it might grind those that run to powder

Therefore, come out from your houses like soldiers
who are willing to die to live
for we've been stars of starvation for too long;
it's time to be stars of salvation.
