TRUE LIFE TALES:IKORODU-SAGAMU-ROAD....FORGOTTEN ROAD

Firstclass Newsline Special

I read the expression;
THIS VEHICLE IS NOAH'S ARK
Fuming...
Gasping artificial clouds
With cries
The vehicle urinates, passes red urine.
At Oke-Gbegun;
Stationary tanker palpitates
Its accelerator got tired, the clutch revolt;
break resist, but not!
Char the route destined; 18 seater
It squeezed personal comfort,
In its unwarranted tiredness
Academia mourns...
Dead!
II
Along Ogijo,
The road assaults the vehicle
Driver seeks redress;
Before panel beater
Dead!
And spanner do the postmortem
Analyzing one to one million faults
Oh no! Oh no!! Oh no!!! driver, happy
I am automobile orthopedic man; see!
Those four legs need obesity
Tar protest, pothole enough to be septic tank
III
On this axis,
When the sky runs not, the usual temperature
The air do Skelewu dances
Giving the sky the tenacity to pass
perspiration
Oh God! Why God? A protest or what?
These people can build Rome
With what their mouth 'spill' out
The road sings lullaby; and vehicle do snail walk
'A NIGHT ON IKORODU-SAGAMU ROAD'
A trek must occur tonight
And fueled iron-horse hiked
Chancing only the few.
IV
"These commercial drivers are crazy"
"Mr my car manoeuvre na!"
Factions do submissions
When Aso-Rock present its belly
Belching treasury, after gulp of bonds
Worry not, worry not, but hurray!
Expectation creams longing
Window order breeze to throw hisses...
For it, go slow.
V
Mortality smiles
Retrenchment chuckles
Disappointment laughs
Failures...
The vehicle ahead,
Its expression reads;
''NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT''
Come to our aide, commuters moaned!
