    The man called coward

    The man called coward

    His rocky farm-dry palms
    Beat the crocodile-skin drums for oppressor to dance,
    He croaky voice sings the songs
    Of his predator's merry

    At the sight of his oppressor,
    His fury dies in the middle of a false smile
    But yet,
    His courage for confrontation
    Has long lost his way

    While his predator catches the wide smile of dawn
    From Lebanon,
    With a skull on the soft-landing
    Of succulent boobs,

    This prey called coward rises
    In a domestic bicker with his intestines

    Yet,
    The media beast has branded him
    The sweetest feet on the tongue of Earth-
    This coward called the Nigerian people.

    opression is never right - or any kind of supression -nice

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

    Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
