"The Case of Sliced Breads" - By Ojuade Lukman

These special breads always come with a seal. After a bite,endless slicing is unzipped The breads come in flavours, shapes and curves. Almighty baker armed the slicers with hard knives, Knives of varied length, width and vigour knives which bleed ever flowing jam That love, makes the world revolve? Lie!

I fell into a trance yesterday, But i hardly came across whole bread, She is everywhere but on the shop shelves The slicers buy the bread with money and swagger.

I was at a consummation banquet yesterday, Upon my binoculars on the bride, I lament silently for the naive slicer, For he rejoices greatly over his new special bread. If only he knew that she is just a maked-up sliced bread.

As if I should embrace racing wind of the death But death is the altitude of our unseen shadows Those with heads lack the gift of honorary crown Blended serrated wings are product of standing wall Heats of end attacked our rising hope in morning sun. Rushing mighty wind naked windows of the night But we hardly capture the reign of comforting breeze We are sprouting-mortals at the table of the mortal-gods Surviving strength of many in underground of secret places Legal occupants of skyscrapers are messengers of the ghettoes. Echoes of failure and celebrated success intersect at equilibrium We know darkness for confusion in street of rising thought But elders of light ran across the shade of conscience Shift of operation as day wea
