A Poem For The Beasts Of Aluu by 100Whykay(m): 11:20pm On Oct 09, 2012
THE BEASTS OF ALUU

Oh Yes, i saw the video
The video of how they killed the four
Horror! I saw beasts
Perhaps,from the evil groove
All gathered in Aluu
The mission was simple:
KILL! KILL THE FOUR

I saw ancient men in modern attire
Killing brutally must be their hobbies
Anarcho-primitivism was what i saw
For these beasts are the true definition of RAW

Jungle justice or Aluu Justice
A life for a Laptop/Phone
The competition begins
The beasts of Aluu rise in a solid phalanx
Who would knack the most planks?

Background choral knacking tinkling
Gbam! Kpa!! Gbosa!!!Please..Kpaa again
Rhythmic clinking of planks
Battering four helpless teenage body
But these four would not die that easy
Their last breathe is not within frame
For they belief there might still be HOPE

So they lay there with their bodies
Fading to a sustained pain
We must keep on HOPING they thought
Maybe the police will come
Or the JTF will be our savior
Someone among the mob will plead
on their behalf they prayed

Perhaps God will come down
In His Stark Simplicity
But alas, HOPE died in 1993
So DIE They must

Saddled in petrol
Accompanied with fire
Suya is Ready

The beasts of Aluu
Are now in a dance procession
To stress climactic moments.
The gods of Aluu have been appeased
The feast: " A Success"

Please help me ask them
Them is they that killed the four
Do they not forget
The World has four wings
Where will they run?

Will they grow wings?
Will they become wiggly
Burrow deep into the earth?

Will vengeance not howl after them
As death crouches in ambush?
Will their offspring be innocent
live happily ever after?

They that killed the four
Are ladened with hornest-infested logs
And walk in the groves of bees
They will not escape death-dealing stings.
