"Whoreship 2.0"

The new morn

Dawns in the sky

Of your eyes.

Its rising sun

Dances in the petals

Of your lips.

This and that,

A bird swings in and out

Of a still lake.

I could see reflections

Of teeming occupants

You are a city

Of moonrise mountains

Of milky meadows

Who dares plough

A fairer skin?

Except gods

Except worshippers.

Debbora

In the far western hemisphere

Of Canada, your name sails

Across continents in glories

Lovers recite litanies

Friends intone praises

Every year, a farmer receives

His yield

May your yam be spread like

petals

May your barn be full of

Corns

May your field be bounty

For birds

May your pedigree not

Be bent

May your conjugal not

be crooked

For every full year in Africa,

you become olumosan, &;

you shall never bear

damaged fruits.
