Poem of the Week: Redemption

Nehi Igbinijesu Raving ravens ravaged O sleepless town of old Compromising covens concealed Once but now many told For they were revered once For fear did they embold Wimpering beast and man all Like chilly harmattan cold   Who may speak for us Most and many remanded Some Christ to die again In blood sin bleaches To enter paradise in the horizon A mirage – naivety’s sabotage A subterfuge of release From chain cooked minds   Messiah hardly Africa Come truly us to aid But bicker rather trickly Loud mouthed serenades A lore of dreams virulently Of hopes, scores and joy That one day -yes one day Surmise we end the ploy!     This Poem is part of the anthology of 30 Poems titled: “Dirges of The Niger” By Nehi Igbinijesu.
