By Chidi Anthony Opara
Presuming self sacred,
The bull,
Bully of a burgeoning brash era
Barged into the oily dwelling
Of the rascally one
And burrowed its horn
Into the belly of a beloved son
And despatched the beloved son
To the great beyond.
The Ayatollah wept
And vowed revenge.
Like the seed of ugba,
Rage exploded
Dispersing seeds of hate.
Our world is enveloped
By the whiff of war.
Bile boiled,
Ego bloated,
The rocks flew,
The Ayatollah exerted revenge.
The bull is raging again,
Its eyes on devastation.
Our world is enveloped
By the whiff of war.
