APES
IN THE PALEST STARLIGHT OR IN DARKNESS ABSOLUTE
BOKO HARAM A TRIBE OF BANDED APES
Did you know that the orb-like eyes of a falcon can see
small objects one mile away +are 30 times more colour
sensitive than ours are? Maybe the king of birds might
be brought to Nigeria help find the now 2,000 abductees
some as young as 7 being hitched to suicide vests
Here in the West many believe that efforts have been made
Few know this is pure fantasy Think logistically Take the
400 children in their elementary school shocked+sobbing
as boys are separated from girls The school now stands empty
How do you transport +feed an army of abductees 14+under?
Unless you do not Likely there are bones in the forests +many
madmen with 10 small wives a piece Before the young bombers
are sent into market places +cities the equipment is tested on
live candidates Only really depressed poets are literalists of the
imagination
