Not In Africa Poem by Haruna Garba

Mouth of the mountain
Hold your magma spit
Spout not again in Africa
You once did when few we were
Not again when Africa is up brim
And those at the wheels are dumb

Not in Africa!
Snouts of the wildfire
Hold your tinder crave
Has always been in small scale
Let it abide or not anymore again
Even for Australia, please hold it
Australia of all nations, the better off
What more of Nigeria which is loose

Burning chamber of viruses
Hold your outwards exhaust pipe
Keep your byproducts deep inside
SARS and Ebola are utterly too big
Africa is blind to practical foresight
For a place only bent on dishing out
None cares about any potentialplague?
