DEDICATION: TO MY MOTHER, AGBOWUGBE DOE-FIA
WHEN GOD FIRST WROTE THE WORLD
When God first wrote the world in black
There ought to be none to edit it
There was nobody there to warn or advise
Until a white smelling rat offered to insert
his name
So many devils then entered as protagonists
It seemed the only editing ink was one of cocaine
and alcohol
A stunted nuclear brush did the first pictures
Painted in sleep, snores and farts
It also seemed the editor-turned-author
nearly slobbered
When sleep had then dropped off the stunted brush
Leaving a trail of filth and anger
This plagiarist turned the story upside down
Ugly though the pictures were - a long nosed
Smelling white rat doning the diamond crown,
for example
A thief calling himself Lord or Load I hear
An ozone-eating giant sodomy-rapist,
for example
They were the only lawful pictures we had then
But the landscape was beautiful though
To be smeared and dabbed by an eunuch papal
Calling me a legal black slave, so a devil
Mountains, trees, valleys, rivers, seas, plains
That were to turn into toxic waste dumps
Toxic waste of pederasts shitting cancer or canker -
Lies, slavery, exploitation and inhuman rights
Sodomites organizing a Disunited Nations
Dubbing me a legal slave, a cursed race!
