Pride Not Yourself, O Night! Poem by Eche Ononukwe

Pride Not Yourself, O Night!



Why do you permit evils

by habouring thieves in your shadows, O Night?

Why do you welcome black cats and black birds,

by allowing ‘em, und’r your arms, to bewitch the innocent?



O Night, you think you’re much wiser at night

when you give us your sleeping poison at night!

Pride not yourself, O Night,

for our Lord has destroy’d all your works

by exposing ‘em on the broad day light!
