Rejected By All Poem by Femi Ademiluyi

He wandered about
with his head hanging down like grannies tit
the sun challanged him to a fight
buh he dizzled away
knowing that inevitable was his defeat

He ran to d forest seeking refuge
the tall lanky trees roared at him
chanting battle songs
with drawn swords ready pounce
all green things dried up at once
and hunger waz made manifest

To the river, he stargared
the joyous songs of the waters siezed
and stagnancy reighned
torrents multiplied
planktons raced away to their stronghold
and the fishes hissed in displeasure

with the residue of his pride
he stumbled home
With thorns he waz welcomed
and the tingling of sharpened cutlasses
all faces frowned
and all smiles vanished without trace

tired, tired and tired
he dug his grave
his cogitations wrote his will
but to whom?
He dove six feet with open arms to death
but death waz on vacation

watery eyes and dusty feet
he turned to his gods
telling them of his lowly defeat
WOW
he thought he heard their voices
but no,
they snored away in deep slumber
