No, Not Hives! Poem by Ivan Chizurum Ezeigbo

No, Not Hives!



Quacks, wobbling colony
Can't there be a change?
Of incessant worrying minds
And dirty leading seats
No leader without a follower
Leading money away
Cause they don't care if you care
Suffering and suffering again
There should be a Messiah, we thought
Or so they say there is
Which mistake was it
To chose a dubious man
To torment us with scorpions
After we just had whips
We gave him a chance
To change 'our' suffering
Can men be trusted
Yet we trusted him
To lead us to victory
But here we are!
These men brought me hives
And yet...
Oh no, not hives again
