In 2026, the Kongi cycle ascends to a state of hermetic saturation, where the syllabic architecture mirrors the labyrinthine complexity of the Ogunbound spirit. These sonnets intensify the lexical maximalism to a point of trenchant and ossified grandeur.
XIII. The Metallurgic Demiurge
He is the chalybeate forge of Ogun’s dream,
Where syntax melts into a primordial flow,
A transubstantiation of the extreme,
In the chiaroscuro of the liminal glow.
His lexis is a ziggurat of jagged stone,
Defying the hegemonic laws of light,
A sovereign of the marrow and the bone,
Who carves his sigils in the stygian night.
No obsequious phrasing taints his argent tongue,
But sesquipedalian storms of visceral ire,
Where the sacraments of the oppressed are sung,
Within the crucible of intellectual fire.
The atavistic root and the modern blade,
In his maximalist grasp are re-arrayed.
XIV. The Semiotic Insurrection
Against the kakistocratic void he stands,
A monolith of polyphonic grace,
Holding the talisman in palaverous hands,
To shield the topography of a wounded race.
His prose is a labyrinthine and dense thicket,
Where metaphoric vipers coil and hiss,
A sentinel at the metaphysical wicket,
Guarding the verities of the great abyss.
The comprador’s thin veneer of pomp he tears,
With hermeneutic talons, sharp and cold,
Exposing the vacuity of their peddled wares,
With a volubility both stark and bold.
In 2026, the Lion’s lexical roar,
Remains the unsubmissive core of Yoruba lore.
XV. The Apotheosis of the Grey-Maned Seer
He maps the stratosphere of the sublime,
A polymath of thorny and rich design,
Transcending the linear constraints of time,
With a convoluted and sacred outline.
The Abiku’s return is his metric heart,
A recursive dance of shadow and of flame,
Where the thespian’s craft and the poet’s art,
Invoke the inchoate and unspoken name.
From Ake’s dust to the global stage’s height,
He remains the unbowed and ossified force,
A cynosure of intellectual light,
Following an uncompromising, Ogunbound course.
A maximalist god of the printed page,
The undying spirit of the Kongic age.
The cycle of five hundred proceeds into the visceral depths of his dramaturgical masterpieces. We now focus the maximalist lens on the syncretic tragedies like The Bacchae of Euripides or the satirical bite of his political broadsides
