Allocutus Of Olójòǹgbòdú, By Oje Ayanbode O. by shehuolayinka(m): 7:47am On Dec 25, 2019 |
Only few of you know me – I know I blame you not, much have been stolen from me Even the panegyrics given to my husband belonged to me Yes, I am Olójòǹgbòdú, wife of Ikú Death; the black borg with thorny cudgel They who have met me, know me not And he who knows me, have not met me. I am guilty of the crime, my hands are red; Red in crimson blood of my bosom lover I killed him, I fed him his poisons And if given the chance I will do it again I killed Death, hahahahaha Never mind the absurdity of the charge I seek not your pity or your justice I knew whom I was dealing with Before I agreed to terms with them; Humans; those guileful and sneaky humans Death had told me who they are And justified his action on them based on that; “These sort of beings do not deserve being alive” Yet I connived with humans to kill Ikú My rant here is not to pervert justice And I hold no one explanation for my choice But for two reasons I speak: To keep the record straight And to keep logic straight I fed Ikú with dead rat I fed Ikú with duck’s egg Yes, I fed Ikú with ẹlẹ́bútẹ To prove a point, I did. If Ikú kills humans because of their mischiefs What crimes have these committed: All that is living, besides human? The rat and the egg. Ikú my husband If you can hear me wherever you are You died of lack of reason to kill That was why your hands were shaking Iróró iróró You knew I got you So your heart jumped out of your mouth Death my husband If you can hear me wherever you are You died fearing I was right That was why your legs were shaking Irìrì irìrì You knew I was right So your chauvinistic ego failed you Now to you, oh Judges divine You have sentenced me to death For killing my husband But wait, now that Death is dead Who shall kill his wife? Let us put the logic straight. (20th December, 2019) Image: Cleopsis, eater of the dead READ MORE: https://thebelltimesng.com/2019/12/23/allocutus-of-olojo%c7%b9gbodu-by-oje-ayanbode-o/
