The Jagged Jaws

By Adeola Ikuomola

Fresh juice for jagged jaws
Coated with trust folklores
In violation of natural laws
Unity crashes on the floors
Fruit trees showcase beads
In the brightness of the sky
For love the larks send bids
Skyrocketing in a swift style
Love erases hostilities down
Like floaters on the high sea
Peace in an additional gown
Lifts unity for mortals to see
Harmony, a life gown to sew
With needles born to thread
World in one accord to show
Celebrating with living bread
FREE LIP SERVICE
Flipping through free lip service
Eyebrows burrow brown breads
Like late horrors in eye shadows
Mending pupils’ preying glasses
Falsehood eulogises whispering
Like bats in the darkened nights
With the divisional bandwagons
Holding peace and love accused
Vicious malice maligns the skies
Like stone-rains on late streams
With tongues fanning the flame
Conflicts are enthroned to reign
