Bushy-headed, The Ignoramous by MIcdej(m): 3:28pm On Mar 31, 2016 |
I observed the gentleman’s poise With confidence he strode in He sat like a flaccid balloon My eyes fastened on him as he was tucked in Like a caterpillar in its diminutive cocoon His hands completely encased without any resistance His bushy hair like baboons’ Bushy, yet at the mercy of the other stranger His eyes closed, his head rested In the hands of the stranger Parading series of sharp instruments As the metal landed on his head Accompanied by tractor-like sound His face bared a painful expression Yet, it was masked by his closed eyes What a confidence! What a trust! Amazingly, he came out alive Appeared more handsome with his gaits But his bushy head has disappeared And charming smiles surfaced beneath his head Seeing the shape of the head Laced with the trimmed beard Then I recognized him We had met before, just a month ago Yes, he was the same man That lamented with a tone of bitterness “It’s difficult to trust God when one is passing through hell” Then, his avowal was greeted with my muteness But how come he knew the barber won’t cut his head? And that the clipper’s pain will only make him look better Still lost in my thought, I kept wondering Is it more difficult to trust The Maker than an Unknown barber? (c) Olajide Oladeji 2 Likes |
