We Belong To The Clan Poem by Owoeye Taiwo Bisola

We are sisters from the same hood, our souls and spirits belongs to the entire community,
We kissed our dreams and realities goodbye for the sake of the clan who forsook us,
You see the chalky adornments on our faces mixed with garish rainbows of the clouds,
You see our charred faces put into the sun to dry the golden droplets of rays from sights,
Our souls are being sacrificed at their altar of redemption, we are the lost sacrificial lambs.

Our feet are glazed with anklets of terrors as the red earth refuses to swallow our bodies,
Our fingers grazes the green growths at our greenhood as they cart away our corpses,
We are alive with our hearts tickling with an exotic appetite to eat the food of the deities,
We are dead to the clan, our heads some kind of sculptures to adorn the walls of their huts,
Our only hope is to hold each other's hands while the whirling waves washes us ashore.
