To The Dead by don88(op): 11:08am On Apr 09, 2019
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
