A dove has been bathed into a vulture
A sheep transformed into a goat
A wall gecko now lives like a cobra
Which waters clean the clean into dirt?
II
A lion is now a cat
A tiger living as the dog of a crab
That eagle is now a “borla” bird
Which airs travel in exhaling
To change destinies like diapers of a running infant?
III
Odomankoma’s eyes must be floating on seas with pinching salt
Boiling by the fury of rage
As spirits with divergent hearts fight
On the battlefield for souls on soles
As he watches his flawless creations
Turn monsters in mythical mirrors
Yet stay like untainted dolls in his daylight vision
IV
Amazing how innocent baby teeth
Turned carnivorous, love the taste of flesh
Flesh which houses their very selves
Hadn’t heard demonic laughter harvesting standing ovations
Until the veil of innocence tasted claws of enlightened machetes
