POETRY: 'Igbehinadun'

'IGBEHINADUN'

Cascade of hopes seems iced and freez'd
Immaculate desires away to lost path is doomed and breez'd.
Death of talents and deeming of stars,
Some hearts bleeds while some are scars.
... the chants shall change soon... Igbehinadun!

The sky is on a silver tint,
the sun shines with a quirky rays of stint.
In awe glories stood across the shores of hates,
helps hangs helpless upon the hook as baits.
... the chants shall change soon... Igbehinadun!

Indigent mankind lies upon palate of lost hopes,
the waifs and strays, the broods and mopes?
Condemnation murders the luculence of dreams,
determinations nudged into the abyss of breams.
... the chants shall change soon... Igbehinadun!

The honeycomb has been mashed with acridity,
league of scavengers as majority, the innocence fashioned as the minority,
affliction upon the scarlet of the plebs,
where only the plebs are caught with webs...
...the chants shall change soon... Igbehinadun!!!
