Words of Aduke
Blue-flamed fires burn me
Bloodthirsty wars conquer me
My walls of Jericho falls upon me
A tears that never dry
Another Mississippi to see
The precious ‘ori’ pleads
The figures stationed by the walls
;of the darkest room
A smiling painful wound
With seemingly endless cut
Aduke time left no remorse
Dark secrets lies in the embrace
Of a pitiful empty eyed Aduke
“I await my lovers peck that never will be”
