IN THIS POEM
(iii)
In this poem,
lies stressed foot
& suffered lines.
Wrapped with confusion,
that only a few could
understand.
They are depressed words
from the traditional proverbial
drum of *Agidigbo*.
Very hard to grasp,
not so easy to unravel;
The whispers of a dying mother
Foot/metres/lines/& /stanzas/
here_ stomach pain,
(ii)
In this poem,
dwells the story of
an helpless poor boy,
/his lamentations/& /regrets/
"Why do I've to peep through-
womb's window,why?
What song suits
the cries of a child
abandoned amidst wolves?
What beat translates the pain,
pains inflicted on a child
that was engraved into a
vengeance sludge /of revenge/
for an offence he ne'er committed.
(i)
In this poem,
You'd see /fallen lines/
/weed words/&
/disagreement between ---
grammatical structures/
Beneath these lines are
/unexplainable pains/
/crucial sufferings no one--
notices/& /grievous thoughts -
i couldn't say to anyone
except the monsters in me.
