PRISON BREAKA Poem by Onyia-Ali, Kingsley Chukwuebuka BensonAll those desired me death choked my knife.PRISON BREAK When I was, solemnly imprisoned below This paper cover, I had struck blow All those desired me death choked my knife Underneath separated shallow, good countenance strife They would struggled with life and knife above All cause are probed that caused repose Could you sit, and look how death and birth Are alike, like twain, I desire this birth in a nest Where I was held prisoner with death in cell Where I smell these wroth of spell These men that I choked, they even shine In greater ambulance where laden coffin line Horizontally kept side ways and wedged All those who came to welcome out looked After these ambulances zooms off, down To there, their father's hometown Where they were late and ranks priests, popes, pastors and bishops sang (Thus they are given lenience to the grave) And were celebrated more, while the living ach? Once among our mist, their spirit spoke Against the man that took their life By force in course of all troubled strife By their spirit, that made me heroic I among their spirit made myself a mimic To these strangers that gathered, during masses They knew them more than they knew themselves So they took gold frankincense and meant And gathered around their graves present I even envy them with their frankincense If they suddenly know me by my sense I would dig out that gold by my strength After they were buried with them in length Strangers who know me countenance Would wail, they might call me police If they desire again I would strike, I More lenient, than the old model I Used. I would strike them engrave See how pleasant they are in the grave Could you please observe, again? How these pleasant chains overwhelm My hand and I were tied upon a time If not, they knew how heroic I am I would fight them again and A great number of people would Fall at once against my sword and all Singly handed by my strength and skill If not that I had a single bone, I would If not that I was prison caged, I could Break them all and offer in Armageddon All these cops knew what I had done I could drink them like water steadily Quenched, towards my throat speedily They will regret ever being a living cop They will reverse never locking me up Because I would handle them like a prop Although I was pride and humble, am fame, I wish those taken by my knife all the same In grave, see how they had gathered around? Old multitude, that sing and chant are sound. © 2015 Onyia-Ali, Kingsley Chukwuebuka BensonAuthor's Note
