Encompassing My World Poem by Nichola Okoro

Encompassing My World



You talk about doctors when the forest is there
You talk about lawyers when the devil still lives
You talk about the soldiers when the gansters surround me
You talk about oxygen when the air gives all
You talk about electricity when the sun, moon, stars
there profligacy
You talk about transport when my feet are two
You talk about glasses when my sharp eyes stand before me
You sceam food when fruits say 'steal me'
You scream water when spittle, urine are just there
You scream police when my neighbours see me
You talk about writing, what about memories?
You talk about cinema when the earth is a theatre
You talk about clothes when the leaves or nakedness suffices
You talk about taxes when I'm not the society
You talk about tespians when it's pluralism

Oh you show me the channels of the world
And I respond...splendid
'Cause those who developed all
Intension were pristine
But subsequent ages misinterprete all.
