The Devil Wears Agbada Poem by Friday Dejavu

The Devil Wears Agbada



Why term me a fool_
because I bend not to your rule?
Bullet can off the sound,
but can it distort the massage?

Why restrict my freedom_
because i demand my kingdom?
You can kill the body,
but can you destroy the pen?

I ask for peace you give me war,
The truth you lock behind the bar.
You can hide the truth,
but can you hide the sun?

Power to a fool is deadly,
I give you my right you whip me with it.
You can be a tyrant,
but are you any better?

My identity you label corrupt,
with white agbada you assume a saint.
You can destroy my image,
but my country I shall reclaim.
