Earth Ii(The Destruction) Poem by Babajide Adepoju

I've known a world where the dark don't sleep

A world where white hair

Don't make a man old

The wickedness of his heart does

This is the city of wicked revelry
The planet others look up to


Is fast becoming a den for domestic lions

The priests are unprincipled

Senators are shameless elders

All others dipping blood in fat

Eyes that twinkle in sight of goblet

Goblets that are full of red bloods.



Call it inebriation or senseless chatter

Just watch tomorrow and see what happens

Earth will be destroyed

Piles of rubble, heap of ash

Smiles taking the face of umbrella

Furnace the rain won't put on

The sea is sliding to her

It's not aid to put out flames

It's an aid to oblivion

How much does wickedness pay

In a world we brought nothing

Where the only thing remaining

Are the thick black skies

And our sandals on the ocean shore

With crosses above them.
