PREDATORS

I’m an endangered specie
existing in a lawless habitat
hunted by friends and foes alike
hunted by a villain
who preys on civilians
here the fittest survive

Yesterday it was Chima
a helpless prey
today it’s Jimoh
Who’s next on death roll?
Tomorrow echoes my name in dirges

This is not war
This is a death sentence
For dress sense
and tasting Luxury

You can read this
Harry can’t
His only crime was growing a beard

Don’t tell me the police is my friend
When he treats me like a foe.
