right here
RIGHT HERE IN OUR NATION
is an island.
do not mistake my words
and yes, i do not mean lagos island
neither do i refer to to victoria island
when i speak of an island
i speak, of
the compartment,
some would say the gap
or the divide


all we have
is being cleaved
cleaved by their axes
a portion for the elites
elite's what they call themselves
and the wretched remnants-
for Nigerians,
