LOOTING THE LEKKI WAREHOUSE

LOOTING THE LEKKI WAREHOUSE

The Bible says:

1 Timothy 2:7

He was a murderer

from the beginning,

and does not stand

in the truth

because there is no truth in him.

Whenever he speaks a lie,

he speaks from his own nature,

for he is a liar

and the father of lies.

Orunmila says:

Tell us the truth, my friend

that I may fight in your defense

for behind the truth-teller

stands divine protection

Òwe says:

The mouth of the liar

does not shed blood

but the tongue of the liar

kills quicker than the sword

When I went to the spot

where the truth

was murdered at Lekki

I did not find a drop of blood.

What I found were 9jazz

riddled with bullet

hiding behind their brother

called Fake Truth

He was wearing the waist belt

of everlasting life

protected by gbékúdè and òkigbẹ́

that nothing can kill.

I hailed, “Fake Truth

How art thou?”

He grinned, “Splendid, brethren,

and blessed with life eternal.”
