Close Your Eyes And Let Us Prey.

Madams! close your eyes!
Pick your axe!
and let us prey on those Adams:

Who forcefully took off our clothes,
tasted our honeypots, denied us of our crimson joy
and leave us to shrink in the cold blood of despair.


Madams!! close your eyes!
and let’s fill this cup,
with the blood of those herdsmen:
who made us battle with loneliness in the warmth of our bed
Who suddenly turns our children into overnight Abíkú and
Sees massacre as a panacea to replacing their cattle.
Madams!!close your eyes!
and let’s prey on those Adams;
Who pushed our sisters into the icy hands of death
Who uses their physical strength as an instrument of oppression on
and uses the Holy book to back up their claims.


Madams!!close your eyes!
and let’s prey on those Adams:
Who made us fall into the ditch of love and intimacy.
Met us as singles and
ran like Usain Bolt after making us double.
Madams!!close your eyes!
and let’s prey on those Adams:
Who walked us to the aisle and loved us to the moon,
when we still had the hour glass shape.
But,
now dread our present presence,
Because, we are now as big as an elephant.
Madams!!close your eyes!
Pick your axe!
and let’s fill this cup with the blood of those Adams:
Who we stayed and suffered with,
during their ugly and bitterleaf times and
took another Madam in,
during their beautiful and honey times.
Madams!! Close your eyes,
I know we have sinned,
But, God forgives sinners.
Just pray to him
to allow those Adams whose,
lives we have preyed on,
Now rest in perfect peace
