Mind Wreck

by

Clarius Ugwuoha

(To NIGERIA my country)
Through paths of the mind
Twisting and turning
You've come back to the same beginning
Lost in that webbed intricacy

Lost in tangled immagination
Palled
By that stench of blood and of
Rancid putrescent flesh
By the sore sight of sunbleached bones
Your faces singing with the echoes of beastly roars
And of the pained cries of browbeaten lips

Your knotted grief had thickened the skies
Your grief had rained upon sterile minds
You've been fed full with leg-pulling froths
But your retch of disgust is stifled by the booth

Clad in raglike thoughts
You rake the streets
Shut out in suspect sanity
Should I mourn your myriad angst?

Down here on my sick bed
To beasts and tyrants
To jungle predatory duels
To the fake human sympathisers shimmering
Like mirages before my eyes
I have died!
