The Corona Verses: Nigerian Poets React To COVID-19
Time froze under that bridge where we held hands;“Many lockdowns can not quench love.”Our “Ruler”- says we must stay at home;And my stomach tells me that rules were made to be broken.III. Caregiver:But all cages abroad are now closed,At least now they’ll pay us more, attention!The gullibility of the common man-“Hmmm, yes! Ritual-taxes! To pacify ancestors!”We are born again now, our múmù don dey do!Well, the sheeple in lockdown are hungry, still awaiting his donations.
“Thank you, for making us realize that our runaway-daddy never truly loved us!”We will remind them of who made Savage trend on Twitter;But we are crazier than they think; we will suffer, make jests and laugh hard!Aunty says next week we shouldn’t come to school,aren’t we meant to be on holidays?VIII. Preacher:So we’ve learnt, that he who goes against the flowexcept “Be gone and cast into the sea!”And it won’t matter if it’s the President’s kid,but to our negligence and unpreparedness.
