An Ode To Soyinkaresque.part 15


In 2026, the Kongic odyssey penetrates the quiddity of global surveillance and ecological entropy, deploying a thesauric barrage of ossified and mercurial imagery to confront the digital panopticon.
XLIII. The Algorithmic Iconoclast
He scorns the binary and sterile cage,
Where silicon pretenders map the soul,
A theurgic master on a pixelled stage,
Who keeps the atavistic fire whole.
His lexis is an analog revolt,
A cacophony of iron and of silt,
Striking the circuitry like a ferric bolt,
To purge the technocratic, stygian guilt.
No anemic code can hope to circumscribe,
The stratospheric reach of Ogun’s heir,
Who mocks the digital, sybaritic tribe,
With polyphonic storms of rarefied air.
A monolith amidst the liquid light,
He carves his sigils in the cyber-night.
XLIV. The Geomorphic Lament
He reads the palimpsest of parched terrain,
Where lithic spirits weep for poisoned wells,
A hermeneutic of the acid rain,
That through the liminal portal darkly swells.
The Abiku’s cycle is a climatological knot,
Of visceral heat and stratospheric dust,
A maximalist and unflinching plot,
To stay the atavistic, human lust.
His prose is a thicket of thorny ecologies,
A syncretic fusion of the leaf and steel,
Dismantling the petro-chemical apologies,
With an adamantine and unbending zeal.
In 2026, the Grey Lion remains,
The sentinel of the bleeding, equatorial plains.
XLV. The Semiotic Sovereignty
He stands atop the ziggurat of sense,
A nonagenarian titan, unsubdued,
Whose lexical shield is a dense defense,
Against the kakistocratic and the crude.
The road is now a labyrinthine stream,
Of metadata and fragmented ghosts,
But he preserves the primordial, lucid dream,
Amidst the spectral, cybernetic hosts.
With argent mane and trenchant, ink-stained hand,
He drafts the liturgy of human grace,
Reclaiming the metaphysical wasteland,
For a discontinuous and longing race.
A talismanic and maximalist sun,
Whose Ogunbound labor is never done.
