ABIKU
Darkness envelopes the sky
Like a graveyard
The environment was quiet
Except for the hooting of an owl
And the silent tears in her heart
Ke! Ke! Ke! Iku kan kole paa oo
The If a kept on chanting
Beating his konga
Making efforts to resuscitate Fatowoju
Who is lying lifeless
Will he make it?
Will Fatowoju survive?
Or go back to the place where the other abikus have gone
These questions kept her pondering
As she sat still like an object
