Questions Not Answered Poem by Tony-Cemaluk Egbuonu

YOU, the unwelcome guest
Visiting uninvited,
As thunder, intruding,
Shattering and damping
Happiness, yet joyous
Over ignoble roles

Hope terminator,
As a robot, robotic in action
Against your victims
As evilde, from devil, death,
In allegiance to the wicked
Honours without honour
Masochistic manipulations

Harbinger of doom,
Heralding doomsday
Of all, why the breadwinner?
Shameless and senseless selector,
Selecting, with no favour
For sparing, even the foetus?

Companion snatcher
You that remaineth
Companion-less, death,
Still steals companions so dear
And dear to replace

Daring death, evidently pangless
But, pangfully painful
Even, as a necessary end,
For glorious exit
When quite advanced
