Akinbode Israel writes



A MARKET WITHOUT A SQUARE.
.
Rushing feet with naked bodies,
Disfigured hearts pumping noise,
Suffering trays with wicked pepper,
A market without a square.
.
Premature bargaining from poor tongues,
Shining goods with no living-good,
Sick buyers, ghost sellers,
A market without a square.
.
Cheap baskets, costly pitchers,
Naked beings selling clothes
To blind tailors with fake threads,
A market without a square.
.
Fierce rain with friendly drops,
Silence distorted,
No shade to keep our heads,
A market without a square.
.
A market without a square,
Triangle without a tip,
A life without purpose,
A market without a square.
