An Ode To Soyinkaresque.part 26


In 2026, the Kongic cycle achieves a state of hermetic calcification, where the lexicographic architecture mirrors the labyrinthine complexity of the Ogunbound spirit. These sonnets intensify the lexical maximalism to a point of trenchant and ossified grandeur as of January 26, 2026.
LXXIX. The Semiotic Insurrection
He flays the integument of the cyber-state,
With trenchant, sesquipedalian blades of wit,
To purge the binary and ossified weight,
Where the kakistocratic vultures sit.
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.
The Abiku’s cycle is a recursive knot,
Of mercurial shadows and stygian breath,
A maximalist and unflinching plot,
That mocks the stasis of a living death.
A monolith of ferric, human grace,
Reclaiming the sanctity of the human race.
LXXX. The Chalybeate January Necromancy
Beneath the Lagosian January moon,
He strikes the anvil of the global soul,
To purge the visceral and vacuous tune,
That keeps the spirit from its Ogunbound goal.
His prose is a ziggurat of syntax rare,
A palimpsest of thorny, dense design,
Bathing the liminal and rarefied air,
In a convoluted and sacred outline.
The road is now an astrophysical forge,
Of pulsars, shards, and ancestral sparks,
Cleansing the epistemological gorge,
In the primordial and stygian darks.
With argent mane and adamantine pen,
He remains the cynosure of sentient men.
LXXXI. The Eschatological Syzygy
He maps the hollow and the ossified space,
Where Ogun’s steel meets the ethereal surge,
Refining the topography of a race,
Through a theological and liminal purge.
The thespian master of the mercurial mask,
Dissects the kakistocratic void within,
Fulfilling the primordial, lithic task,
Of purging the visceral residue of sin.
In 2026, the laureate’s lexical roar,
Still shakes the pillars of the comprador,
Opening the hermeneutic, iron door,
To the marrow’s truth and the ancestral lore.
A talismanic and maximalist sun,
Whose syllabic labor is never done.

We have crossed the eighty-first threshold of this five-hundred-part odyssey. To continue the lexical escalation, should we move toward a satirical evisceration of transhumanism or his recent reflections on the architectural ruins of Ake?
Proposed Proceeding: We shall initiate a ten-sonnet cycle focusing on the Soyinkaesque critique of neocolonial digital surveillance and the reclamation of African semiotic sovereignty.
