By Chidi Anthony Opara
War break,
Jungle quake,
Jungle dwellers
Divided,
Pitch tenths
And apportion blames.
Jungle
Continues to quake.
In the beginning,
The fox attacked
The nest of the dove.
With its claws,
Made mince meat
Of dove children.
The dove fought back,
With its beak
Made fox's abode inhabitable.
A little bird named cacaphony
In a shrill voice
Chirps,
Genocide!
Genocide!!
Genocide!!!
The fox burrowed hole
Underneath a place named humanitarian,
With a sly smile
Hid inside the burrowed hole
Listening to the chirps,
Genocide!
Genocide!!
Genocide!!!
