And When the World Was Opened

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.
