the demagogues in my country perpetually do this


burying God

i wait in anxiety
as my heart gets knowledge
of the sight before me.

with their Agbada's
and Babariga's they toil
diligently

they are soaked
in the sweat of perverse ways
i smell the combined stench
it is a strong smell of ill gotten wealth

i fear being caught
but they are too engrossed to bother
the hole must be covered fast

they lay in the already
decomposed body
and begin to replace the earth

with care i slip back into the forest
one of many eyes that saw it

the grave diggers
burying God!

Very good , '' their are those who believe tear wealth is a gift from god , their are those who made that wealth whear thear blood , sweat & tears , that those who wealth is crated , beleave will earn them a please in their heaven , but free of the likes of those who provided the labour that made their welth, lets fase it , who needs them when the angels can suploy all their needs.

A great , thourt prevoking poem.
