OMNIVOROUS PACHYDERMS by Ogunyomi Israel Abidemi

’Tis together ours, not alone theirs
For this they must shed tears –
Rivers of water in their eye tanks
We would drink today without thanks.
Since this planet they’ve chosen to riven,
Their offspring must from here away be driven
For every last morsel their fathers devoured,
Omnivorous pachyderms must but be laboured
Faithful deceivers; antagonistic friends:
They give no damn about fellows’ ends
They direct to the east
That asks for the west
For every single harm they’ve done,
And those in their minds undone,
They shouldn’t at all be pardoned
I mean…why would they be pardoned?
