The Unknown Bullet: Ìdí Àpẹ́

A dark bullet lurks

wherever you go right

in the crannies of the day

by the busy roadside

or right in your bedroom

The small steely point 

pierces the parched body 

deprived already of hope

The day is always hungry,

and we all have to walk

because we all also are hungry

in the season of blood

we all have been orphaned 

of our collective humanity
