OGIDI

OGIDI
(once upon an ignorance in 2011)

Ogidi
You held their brains
In your palms-
And caressed them
With sweet words

You buried your coins
Under their panties

Like a galamsey miner
You roamed in the
Shafts under their pudenda
Stealing their priceless treasures

You sparked them-
The flame of enmity
Started consuming unity
Among them

Ogidi
The stream of blood
In the quack doctor's drains
Carries the cries
Of souls who dreamt
Of calling you father

Ogidi
The scars of torn hymens-
The stolen virginities
Of our future wives
Weep unto your head

Ogidi
The disfigured wombs
Shall one day be but tombs
For sperms

O Ogidi--
The tormentor of crabs
Remember--
God was watching your bottom
