Impenitence.(An exkphrasis/exkphrastic poem)

I often think of Naija
Through they eyes of Ogbomoso 
Her travails and hardships portraying
a wild enclave full of ingratitude dancing and ingrates as an act of betrayal.


I anticipate them hung on a prejudice 
on a grand canyon baring their souls 
spinning their heads on a vertigo 
tales of an ingrate that everyone knows 
to remorse on a salvaging mission.
