James Lisandro Jnr.
A spade is not a wood in the hands of villagers
Whose valleys have deep belly where
Mild or wild pigs do not live encaged with loneliness,
Let no pilferer gain from their folly,
The comfort on a bull is fierce warning
If a masquerade reveals his face at the square
The beat and pump dies like ineffective herbs on a wound,
Let no greedy chiefs walk away in chameleon’s garment
Shoot at the watchers that yearns outside the box
Where a prepaid solace will snap at the jury
Propelled fury gapping at their dark hearts
Let nemesis assures them of a fair share.
