Tunde Oladunjoye,
After having read the contents of the poem you crafted in the middle of the night and thoroughly analysed it, subjecting it to all test of literary finesse and linguistics, I came to an irreversible conclusion about you.
To say you are a deep victim of Dementia is an understatement. To also say forces beyond your spiritual control have overpowered your sensibilities is to say the obvious.
What is however novel is the new level to which you have elevated your cyber schizophrenia to. You have really gone amok.

BLACK BOOK
(Dedicated to Professor Niyi Osundare)
Black man
In Black cap
On a Black Wednesday
Oh! He invented a Black Book!
Inside his Black tint
Next day, Black eye he got
Nearing a Blackout
Oh! He invented a black Book!
The City, Black at noon
Dripping Black water minus chemicals
Push, shove, shove, push for Black bond (age)
Oh! He invented a Black Book!
Black sheep of governance
Trading in blackmail
High, on the occultic order
Oh! He invented a Black Book!
Black convoy blares sirens
Black-uniformed in accompaniment
Same Black Maria accompaniment
Oh! He invented the Black Book!

BLACK DUKE*
(Dedicated to Professor Wole Soyinka WS)
Black is good
I am Black and bold
Black is beatiful
I am Black and strong
Black is gold
I am Black and cheerful
Black is bountiful
I am Black with courage
Who says Black is bad?
White lie!
White, white, white lies!
I am Black and bold
