When One Revolts by Akinwale Peace

When One Revolts.
.
Time when clinging steel pang the wretched souls
and war heroes lose the taste of death. Brought
back by breasts' wails with shag-eared hair– wip'ng tears;
But weapons laugh to scorn in admir'd disast'r–
and all foul are fair, and all fair are foul;
When lives bear gashes whose looks are fair on 'em,
and lives fell front to front with clinging steel.

Three ears I heard them speak, said we'd revolt,
Three hears were deaf as blood went cold to faint.
Three Sirs and MA's, three lives and dead liv'ng souls
as we died while standing, for we feared none-
theless, so we were th' black coal in white pots?
and they have come to wage against our minds?
But dying isn't an option, liv'ng isn't too.

THE LOCAL HENS AND THE CHICKENS.
Once upon a time, a woman has a big store for her chickens. The chickens are so big that they give big and good eggs everytime they release eggs. The woman fed them so much that they were weighty even after releasing eggs.
One day, a customer brought some local hens to her, she said
"Try them, they are also good hens. They give big eggs as well. You'll enjoy keeping and feeding them."

NIGHT SYMPHONIES.

NIGHT SYMPHONIES.
For Ikeoluwa.

I have sailed in the ocean — on
your body's warm drenched spot axis,
and i have felt the touch of your
freezing burning hands and cold words:
you said some soft words gently in
my ear on a cold night. and my
body is a tree, it rustles
when winds beat. winds like your mutters.

I have a whirling desire
that we are over the 9th edge;
grabbing, rocking, licking, tasting —
and the passion flows 'n' action shows.
your whole body defines a lot
even when i see nothing but
the voluptuous pillows of a
tired bed, calling me to sleep.

Slowly, this pace beats rapidly
like a running fire. and i'm
burning coldly on a meet with
your whitish round thorax muscle.
glorious! your body is a bike
and i'm good at riding roughly.
slide and glide, make a symphony
of our salvation on this cold night.
