By Ayo Ayoola-Amale
Here is what we are really like:
A heavy scent of decay,
the sound of breaking glass
that screams –
‘Split this child
because it’s mine not yours
I Just Don’t Care
about anything, anymore…’
Counting- what humanity yet remain to us.
It’s all set aflame by the fires of skeletal
minds twisted and crooked,
consumed by a thousand worlds that
passes from the very earth itself.
The world passes to the heart, the heart to the world-
A knife to our throat.
