    The man called coward

    The man called coward

    His rocky farm-dry palms
    Beat the crocodile-skin drums for oppressor to dance,
    He croaky voice sings the songs
    Of his predator's merry

    At the sight of his oppressor,
    His fury dies in the middle of a false smile
    But yet,
    His courage for confrontation
    Has long lost his way

    While his predator catches the wide smile of dawn
    From Lebanon,
    With a skull on the soft-landing
    Of succulent boobs,

    This prey called coward rises
    In a domestic bicker with his intestines

    Yet,
    The media beast has branded him
    The sweetest feet on the tongue of Earth-
    This coward called the Nigerian people.

    opression is never right - or any kind of supression -nice

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
