Ooh Poem by Ifeoluseyi ifeoluwapo Ifeyemi

When wisdom hides in the cloud of affliction
Fools naturally understand the rhythms of
aggression
Once upon a time,
In a civil clime
There came a time;
About the egress of July
Banned cyclist could not comply
Crippling conditions of the roads they should ply.
Our eyes ended engulfed in disbelieve
For we knew not what to believe
Even at the full glare of sunshine
As the state of the state seemed unfine
In a war of the overlord and the underdogs
Triggered by taxed touts
How then shall we tread
Where the poor are sapped
And the rich rogues are robustly fed
On the hustle and hurts of the masses
Listen! an Egbere never dwells where it pleases
Aye! thy soul shall never rest in peace but in
pieces!
