By Chidi Anthony Opara
All day,
All night,
We, the poets, we protest.
We protest
All week,
All year,
We, the poets, we are protesters.
We, the poets,
We seek
Neither protest partners,
Nor protest sponsors.
We, the poets,
We have no empty pockets to fill,
We have no opponents to witch-hunt,
We crave not
For the potentates' positions
Or their mouthwatering morsels.
We, the poets, we protest
"Cause this domain is dirty
Made dirty
By descendants of the devil.
We, the poets,
We are protesters,
We are the mouthpieces
Of the Supreme Deity.
