The Devil In The Classroom Poem by PROMISE ITA OKPOHOUDEME

My buttock you've flogged
Till my legs leaped like a frog
But, you were my devil
And I cursed God for bringing me to your vigil.

My heart was in flame
To set you once ablaze
Because of your hands of steel
My future holdstill the wheel.

I was your lamb!
And you my knife


You took me to your shrine
Butchered like a lamb

When you visited my Stars
To chase my illss
With your iron fists
Today, I am a man
Steady on a hill
When you held me still.
