Progression (poem)

to Babylon

When tattered tents turn mole mounds
Clustered huts turn anthills
For village path turns mere thickets,
Village path to Sodom.

My hearts, like millstone, sinks;
Goaded, buried, capsized ferry -
To sink! To grope! I'm lost,
This wicked, wasted era.

- Adeshina Olusanya
