Poetry

You are the doomed
Who announces the doom
You are the holiest
That hoards holiness
You are the heaven
Heading to hell
You are the sick
Who houses the sicks
You are the want
Who takes their wants
You are the bait
They are the prey
Adupe people
Singing Hosanna in the highest
Your passionate intrepidity and temerity
Renders them languid
Your pernicious eyes
Sees a dusky future
Oh ignoramus pertinacious
People
Hear the preacher’s call
Give to your Father in Heaven
Stay hungry on earth
Yes! Tomorrow knows itself
Give him legs
Give him your hands
Keep your head
And have your fates
Give him your neck
Never you shed a blood
Build him a flat
He stays in heaven
Abraham, Jephthah gave him a child
The preacher has spoken.
