By Chidi Anthony Opara

Agwu,

The deity of mischief

Pushed

Polluted air to our earth,

Our earth is polluted,

Our earth is locked down.

Strong men,

Strong women,

The men of straw

And the women of straw

All are subdued now,

The state is subdued.

Even the royals are roped

And laid on the open

With gusts of polluted air

Cruising

On their over pampered bodies.

Agwu prances

With mischievous smile

While

People of the earth

Writhe in painful dry coughs.
