He Is Coming….! ! ! Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

He is coming!
He is coming! !
He is coming! ! !
Very soon
He is close by
Very near by
He is huge!
Very gigantic!
He consumes
Gluttonous!
Insatiable!
He sees and detects any person from anywhere
Even in the darkness of the nights; where he operates best
Yet he has no eyes
He runs so fast that no one can be faster
Yet he has got no legs
He grabs and squeezes with force; he is extremely powerful
Yet he has got no arms
He tramples on the victim and makes him tremble
He makes a second looks like an hour
And days will seem never to end
He renders his victims virtually useless;
To himself, even to anybody
Who is he?
He is nobody! ! !
He is inside you! ! !
He is your fear! ! !
