Poem of the Week: The Morality of Compromise

By Nehi Igbinijesu   What thought we’d never do Did we shameless-loathed Abased but our janus appeased Straddled along frigid banisters And lonely staircases creaking With sounds disorderly No inhibitions- no cares Forgetful of nuptial daliiances Wreaking gleefully at rompous booty To stay alive pleasuring At a gun’s barrel headward Of a knackered-brained killer Moralising our compromise   Satiated yet sorrowful With filth filled stomachs Drenched by a pale full From the River Styx   Had I known that this would entail The killing of thine own soul Left alone I would prefer Than destroy more than repair   This Poem is part of the anthology of 30 Poems titled: “Dirges of The Niger” By Nehi Igbinijesu.
