Ekene C. O. Atusiubah
You
You that weights like tones of iron
That shields the dazzling light
You that say things I hate to say
And do what I hate to do
And go places I loath.
You
You that think you know
That boasts of tomorrow
And hiss like a spitting cobra
You that I must leave behind
You
That hate me so much
That is not real or true
How come we almost live together
In this unreal Hell
You
That walks into my life
With venom, smiling
Planting weeds in my farm
You that I must leave behind
Temptation.
You
