The Pursuit... Poem by Rabo Sanusi

As fierce as it may be
the scary scene that arouse my sight
A demonic scarecrow to behold
My friend and i are chased by a machete man...
As i gasp for breathe and turned to watch my behind,
I saw the machete man butcher my friend’s throat
As i wondered!
Doesn’t this man have any remorse of pity in him
And then my eyes met with his
and i battled for my life as i raced towards safety...
My eyes begin to fade away
As the sound of my heartbeat increased
like the gong of the village town crier...
My body becoming too hefty for my legs
And as alarming thoughts fill my memories
Is today going to be the last of me?
As sudden as it has happened
I stumbled and fell to the ground...
As i saw the machete man enclosing the gap between us
I struggled to stand-up
But the veins of my legs were too scared to respond
And then i felt a strong dark shadow befall me
As i raised my head
and saw him holding the machete as high as his hands could go...
but then my eyes began to wink
My fingers trembling with fear
As i opened my eyes the scenario changed
The colourful ceiling was above my head
My bed sheath soaked with sweat of terror
And as interesting as it may
I was engrossed in an ail dream
Just then i felt a sign of relief in my veins
as i laughed aloud...
So it was just a DREAM...
