ABIKU (Durosinmi)

Dear messenger from the room of death,
Don’t seek counsel in the land of life.
Close your hugs and warm your darkened tricks.
Our hearts are not the Flames on candles.
I respect you that is why I am dead.

To one who holds the curtains of death,
I salute your gutless bravery.
If when you eat, don’t come near my house.
Don’t paint the tomb with rainbow colors.
Choose a side, don’t be a Nigerian.

Wait! Do you have karma on your list?
Why does she act like a female dog.
I saw your shells laying at the beach,
I thought to myself, your time is gold
So I’ll give you a watch, let it stop

Ruddapoet [TRCP]
