The Black Skinned Midget by Akukom: 9:59am On Jan 14, 2019 |
Their unrhythmical voices, Yes the babarians’ voices. With the pitch of their voices Being as high as the soprano singers Only that theirs is that of noise and not Melodious to the ear. The shouts and screams of the street people Can provokingly wake a dead man And make him demand silence from the living world. At the opposite side of the road Is a burnt skinned midget With her Afro hair as full as The branches of a grown tree And her hair as curly as the coils Of a telephone wire. Her face is as beautiful as a bull dog And her skin is cotton feel. At the opposite end of the road Is the burnt skinned midget Who is me. Cursed to look identical to apes But blessed with the gift of Making words unite To form a beautiful meaning. Like a tall tree , I stand motionless. My feet are rooted to the ground I watch with glee. The fight between an “Okada” man and a policeman A typical fight and struggle between a Lion and its prey But here, they are both the lion and prey. Both trying to oppress the other. I hear the “Okada” man screaming “ injustice” And the policeman yelling “ I can arrest you” The fight scene is like a magnetic field Attracting some people, Making them gather like a group of disorganized schoolchildren And repelling some people, Making it seem like they’re blind and deaf. While people like me Stand glued to the opposite end of the road Watching in amusement and glee. They sure will definitely resolve the issue This is my country.
