From The Sentence Poem by Adeosun Olamide

Like ye the right to sentence
-Yes made perfect
To judge you

Like ye have it all
-Yes- it all
To mock you!

Beyond the beautiful dust
Beyond that rot- we shall bury?
-Yes beyond that- we flaunt all!

Beauty fades, you can’t make us!
-We don’t make vile
I would make rat than make thee!

And spits on others?
-Yes- they revolt!
You do!

Conceit and fall are companions!
-Inferiority complex
Choose low that fears fall!


You nothing!
-Yes, to the commons
I, nothing!

And, we are your subject-
The error of your lord!
-No, not error- His flank of disgust!

That God made all equal
-Safe all of you- reason- half a calf!
And your folly- the triple of Adam!

Our lives have worth!
-The worth of sea sands
The worth of ocean droplet!

Yours, the gallows is worth!
-Kill me, you make me Christ
Slay me, you make me god!

What have you become?
We made thee
-Yes- you made me ire!

The media was your sun
Your pillars- the people you chasten!
-Then they remain sheep- while I wolf!

Why have you hate us so?
-Free man is the identity of a monster!
Ye dearth reason to choose!

Remorse can save your neck
-You have no feet- I can lick-
Nor is your pity a boon!

You chose suicide-
-Better choice than ye
Better than- than dwell this attendance!

Their clamors- not mine
-He that fears them-
Belongs there!

Their clamors- not mine
-He that chose silence
Belongs there!

-That if I ruin- I shall rise
And in flesh a demon even
To descend a Gomorrah on you!

God save ye- this pride
For even He- shall not hold
-He is unlike -!

Put his body to the vultures
But first hook him on the tree-
So all may behold- his indignity!
And see- his tongue of fire- that scorched
And see the tongue wed flies
And see! - That dangles- a mere man!
