SOUR MARRIAGE AND VICTIMS

By Oladeji Popoola

As they rush

into it as though it is Molue*

Many surge out

of it like water from a valveless tap

Memories of their rage

and the consequences would settle

in these children’s heads now that

it has broken apart.

”Children’

They are those necrotic grasses

underneath the feet of the raging

elephants.

Alas!

But life will continue

Yet these victims;

The hapless innocents

would take the brunt of this fate.

*The famous Lagos commercial bus.
