An Ode To Soyinkaresque.part 19

In 2026, as the nonagenarian lion persists in his lexicographical defiance, the Kongic cycle attains a state of hermetic opulence. These sonnets utilize a chalybeate and sesquipedalian register to dismantle the ephemeral and the vacuous, as of January 26, 2026.
LV. The Gnomon of the Lagosian Noon
Beneath the Lagosian sun’s mercurial glare,
The Grey Lion drafts a chalybeate decree,
To purge the kakistocratic, fetid air,
With a stratospheric, trenchant degree.
He is the lithic sentinel of the Bar,
Where Ogun’s salt meets the atavistic silt,
Mapping the topography of a jagged star,
To cauterize the hegemonic, stygian guilt.
His syntax is a ziggurat of ossified weight,
A palimpsest of talismanic and dense design,
Defying the anemic and fragmented state,
With a convoluted, Ogunbound outline.
In 2026, his maximalist and Lion’s roar,
Still shakes the shallows of the comprador.
LVI. The Syzygy of the African Hearth
He stokes the inter-generational fire,
With polyphonic rhythms and mercurial grace,
Striking the ribs of a metaphysical lyre,
For a discontinuous and longing race.
The Abiku’s cycle is a syncretic song,
Of mercurial depths and stratospheric heights,
A hermeneutic against the ancient wrong,
Of long, discontinuous, and bloodied nights.
His prose is a thicket of thorny, dense delights,
Refining the ichor of the mortal and the bold,
Illuminating the long, Peninsular nights,
With a volubility both stark and gold.
A theurgic master of the Kongic stage,
He mocks the stasis of the digital age.
LVII. The Chalybeate Centenary Ascent
As 2026 unfolds its stygian wing,
The titan holds the metaphysical vane,
A perennial source from which the waters spring,
In a talismanic and maximalist strain.
He is the sentinel of the marrow’s truth,
A polymathic and iron-willed seer,
Fusing the ancestral fire with radical youth,
To purge the visceral residue of fear.
The road is now a labyrinthine forge,
Of metadata and ancestral sparks,
Cleansing the epistemological gorge,
With Ogun’s hammers in the primordial darks.
A monumental mind, an Ogunbound sun,
Whose lexical conquest has only begun.
