A Plea To Our Predators Poem by Emmanuel Joseph Olumakiss

The period we've tasted sufferings
Carrying sorrow like yam to our barn
The misfortune that befalls man
And havoc that comes in form of storm
Through the great wilderness of life
The circle joy is not fetched
Tracing the foot of our predators
A fate within us
We've eaten it raw;
The forbidden meal
The famished road could not take
And the miseries our fate awake
Through the raged region
Anxiety is seen parading the street with bare foot
The fierce battle that consume lives
Trial laid our famous bridge
Gifting us in turn grief that's made by men
Ekunife our progenitor!
We are the victimised
Its idema the last children
The minimals of Nsede
And the remains of Taba
The unfortunate beings;
Whose existence were hindered by existing beings
We've come a long way with our burdens abroad
Appealing the gods through the voice of Ngele
Here the forest of death;
We bring presence
So our voices be heard clear
Our remembrance;
The ravaged name of Ibera
The region under siege of
ill-health
Ekunife when will our hope be recalled?
For the sake of Ngele
And the victims of wuhan
Adversity a prodigal whose homage leads to a dead toll
Fetching the youths of our days
And as many with raw strength
A distance whose mile we've been digging deep
The days are evil Ekunife!
And our mind is not settled
With constant parade of our predators
Roaming with harms the merry land
Visiting our breeds and barns
Here at the famous feet;
Remedy is locked down
Giving disaster a seat to sweep us all
I've been forced out of the incessant killings
To beseech your face aloof
Before another death toll
Our abode like wilderness of regrets
Starving the sons of sanity;
From living a desired life
Here i am in hunt of the breeders nest
Unveiling our illfare
Knowing our quest is life and not ill-health.
