Edward Kofi Louis (13th October 1961 / Accra, GHANA)
Vitiligo
White skin patches,
Vitiligo!
But, get the answer from the expects.
Go, Vitiligo!
Return of the rain,
Return of the wind,
Return of the sun,
Return of the heat,
Return of the snow,
Return of the cold;
Banish, tarnish!
Central Valley,
The red spot;
Flamingo!
The red meat,
Killing you and taking you hell.
Go, flamingo!
Lovely appples,
The big ones;
In the land of your muse.
Tarnish, banish!
Reported,
Refuted,
Path, pathetic!
But, get the answer from the expects.
Paraphernalia,
Check in your luggage and get in;
With the hope of being healed of your sickness.
