Gbola Adiamoh: The Lords

The Lords

©2009 Gbola Adiamoh

the irons of Slavery are not rust yet as in the Foundry Brother blows out his mimetic incantation on the anvil

                                 and clobbers this metal                                  till the alchemy

with zeal not manly he put the reins on this stallion— full of strength could not run, though

                                 even for its beautiful mane                                  and the strong shoulders

you cannot run, remember the chains too for you have no voice and I hold mine

                      am I slave?

I am Lord, you know what I wish you wish I won’t succumb to Insubordination

                                 are we subservient?

think of it i am lord

                                 and I AM LORD
