........two kinds of greed

on the east west road,
the placid midday sun stood aside,
as a more finer flame execute the day's task

on the east west road,
men, of dust,blood and flesh
were served as suya before their greedy gods
and gloomy faced, vultures

on the east west road
like sacrificial goats ,they lay on the tar,
unattended to,check or turn,
on government barbecue rack ,
they were left to burn

spiced with smoke, a meal of black and white,
a buffet even the vultures abhor.

on the east west road,
angry flames initiated by democratic dividends
sustained by man's deposition
ushers 200 mortals to the other side

on the east west road,
billions of naira expended on structures,
that expedite man's dreaded re-union with his Creator
and expose us to a breath of stench air.
