Ekene C. O. Atusiubah
I swear
I have never hurt a grass plant, flower, shrub or tree
Except when I put fire to farms and forests
I swear
I have never hurt the ozone
Except when I smoked, burnt gasoline, and … anyway
I swear
I have never hurt the sea or ocean or streams
Except when I used poisons to fish and oil spilled last year
I didn’t mean to so I could as well deny
I swear
I have never seen a nuclear plant before except the one’s down my street
I swear, I have never heard of Atlantis before.
Who were they, did some escape
I swear, I never knew the water level was rising
now what will happen to Victoria Island
I swear I don’t know
I swear, my factory uses solar energy, even my Rolls Royce is hydro powered.
I swear, I never knew mother earth was mourning
Send my condolence to her
I swear I never knew that history repeats itself
Noah would die if he saw the heat
I swear I have never lied in my life
Except when I said mother earth was on vacation at Hawaii
I swear, that the energy I shall destroy in this court shall be the last the
last and nothing but the last
So help me destroyer
YOU
