Sambisa We Hail Thee By King Ifey by kingIfey(m): 3:03pm On Oct 21, 2015 |
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!
