Cities Poem by Ama Alma Okigbo

Cities



Waking up from bed from what I could hear
From the honking of cars whose sound deafens my ear
Walking down the road, one could die
From the bullets which pierce the sky
As I kept walking, I saw a brutal fight
Gasping smoggy air as he was strangled with might
And I clutched my jacket, my fingers very tight
