It is that time
That time that monkeys can turn fairies
Aided by the sharp hands of knives
Body masons mix their mortars
Cutting parts of those built by God
And transferring it in pasting, onto other parts
Sometimes injecting bodies like corpses
Hoping to build mounds around areas apt for dancing
Draining parts to evenness for curvy effects
Hoping for doll-like shapes
II
Oh! Then body paints!
Oh! Body sands, sands to smother
Spirits of scented flowers caught in waters
And pushed into bottles are freed onto man-retouched bodies
Reactivating its lives by calling noses to attentive positions
Whatever knowledge is
Whoever produces the hormones of knowledge
However it pours into the minds of beings
That person is a good destroyer
Abena, I am stunned still watching the global comprehension and acceptance
While trying to juggle the sense it poses
As previous monkeys parade everywhere, with greedy fulfilments
Plastered all over their faces
