Once you were forsaken and obscure

As white chalk on a white board.

Legs walked through you

Yet they took you for granted

.

How could we have known that you

Are the beast that now plague our souls.

You open up your mouth and

Dark warriors of doom pour out into the city

Raining incendiaries like fire and brimstones

On the city of Sodom and Gomorrah.

.

As little as you are

Your mighty roars awake the universe

And you bask in the

Belief that we now stand in awe of you.

Your river overflows its bank

And its sharks swim into the city

Bisecting through abdomens and

Roasting us into crisps

For the scavengers’ culinary delight.

.

We fold our arms and watch

Not that we cannot war.

The good monsters at the coast fought a righteous war.

They did enjoy the victory they had.

.

What cause do you fight for?

You that swallowed our girls into your marauding self.

You that ignited the lamentations of

A heartbroken woman wailing

“There is God!’

.

Alas! People now call your name.

Those who fear to call, hear it.

Those who fear to hear it, read it.

You have made yourself proud.

You deserve a Nobel.

Sambisa we hail thee!
