Common Road

Martins Iyoboyi

A viper’s fang, two-pronged,
Fueling death’s fearful prospects –

News of careless ends,
When ambitious seekers bend their course,
Protesting a nation’s madness –

Blood pools, crescents of ceaseless sights,
And thick jams, of angry citizens,

Kept in sprees of halted hours –

And soon, another death, stillness –
When uniformed pawns come
Seeking bribes for their shame.
