TO OUR DEAD
Osobu Suuru Alexander Adoration and glory Just like unto the Lord It’s a taboo Speaking evil against our dead Acumens, accolades And doxologies To our dead Our dead spend more Than the living The living carry The bills unimaginably tall More dignified to be dead Than living Unpalatable to the seeds in my abode Bitter the taste of beef As sweet as honey After our dead soared beyond The world unknown A lean figure Kwashiorkor-bloated tummy Marasmus-cheeks Inside a fat casket Adorned with metal gold A massaging casket Unto the dead While alive the bed-bug mortal enemy In the hut More dignified to be dead Than living Unpalatable to the seeds in my abode Seeds are crying A tear not unto the dead Gargantuan religious, Traditional and societal rites Fat honorarium; In the cathedral Blood of many dogs for the ancestors Economic battered lean clients Awaiting pounded yam, Calabash of palm-wine to appease The ancestors Through their oesophagus- Temples What belongs to Caesar Must be given to Caesar! It’s dignity to our dead Unpalatable trepidation to the seeds In my abode |
