Creedal Victims Poem by Haruna Garba

As the earth grew up from fresh birth
Clutterer-like, her antiques she amassed
She had her cellar in her deep core
And when man began digging like crazy
He learned, he would soon outpace her
Sooner or later, greed would be licked
So when Darwin saw this coming
He sounded tambourine to his kin
Let them make use of their astute wits
Let them bridle the mouths to yawn
Through deceit, through every guile
Inhumanity enshrouded in plain sheet
Every jury at a loss as to slimmest proof


No wonder the lion goes for the zebra
The bear after every breeching fish
Fox of any breed after rabbits of the fields
Bear again to berry, rabbit after lettuce
Grasshoppers busy on the leafs
But they revolve together threat to threat
And evolve together in the escape thing
No but not the breeds of the Middle East
Who creed makes live the life of preys
Besotted to assorted creeds, how vulnerable
Onset of racial extinction at the Persian gulf
Thus aiding the few mouths supposed to live
