On what grounds should Akpalo be acquitted
With his mighty boots trampling on
Ants, grasses and humans
He is larger than life and his backbone
Is furnace roasted solid like a rock
He may injure or kill ants and grasses
And go free
But the sanctity of human life
Should be above a murderer's whims
And to murder and go free
Depicts the character of the judge
In a country where corruption blossoms
Like lilies in summer.
