What keeps me silent. A poem It flows in a river, As pen dances on a paper. When my sight was genesis. I am a rat shy of light in the dark. In the sea, little fish avoid the whale. A caged monkey cries for banana.
I saw the only ripe orange on the tree. Was scared of the thorn, She will kiss my flesh and gift me a scar. For I know sky will cry, If I don't cry. Will be the mess of a masquerade. As hen watches the maize in a bottle. For the hidden symbol in my chest sings; Be a Muhammad Ali!!! By Gbotemi Popoola
