Uzoechi Nwagbara
Wales, United Kingdom
Journeying from a sense Thoroughly overawed
By frittered earth & clobbered space, Streaming from memory –
Draped with incendiary shells by SHELL: By the unsolicited foragers of our heaven, And –
Invoking a panoply of mnemonic snapshots Melancholically sated
With the cruel hangman’s snare & noose,
Our space
Reminds all of the generational war Between good & evil;
The freshness of the dairy Is crowded out by clabber; The field is barren
From the globalists’ handiwork, His alibi for evil is
Like the priest’,
Preached behind the pulpit of ‘‘boundryless’’ earth; A metonymy for brigandage!
Our earth
Spins the yarn of might & ‘weakness’; The alluvium is barricaded thickly
By the explorers’ wrath: The pluvial record Mediates a million testicles Not germinating the earth, His dear mistress
In dire straits of insemination!
Our sanctuary Is hewed down
By nationalist maniacs, Who banished
Our primeval neighbours – In the time past, our staple:
A reminder of our unspoiled universe! They will pay for this!
