THE CEO

THE CEO

A Poem by Akinlolu
"

He's the subject for celebration, meditation derision and argumentation.

"
Who built an escalator to heaven
and transformed the void into a haven?

Who constructed a metro that leads from hell
and confined Aquila to a tiny cell?

Who gave majesty to the eagle and smartness to the raven?
Who commissioned an ode to the stars and mandated thunder to incinerate àjé's coven?

Who sank a shaft into the abyss
and gave the dragon its fiery hiss?

Who established a court from which none has ever appealed
and clothed himself with majesty concealed?

Who created things more terrible than death
and activated the human breath?

Who is CEO of the bank that transacts in hopes and dreams?
By whose decrees are we governed by laws that reign supreme?

Well, at this time, I would say that we are almost entering a time of darkness, supreme rule, etc.... the people should rule, not the CEO's, not God, not a dictator, but democracy should be the determinant here ...we, the people, choose....freedom reins.....
