Poem| Life has Spirits- by Abdulhafeez T. Oyewole



This life I breathe
Like wildfire
 Anyway I feel
Has its ghost
That hunts guilt
And its accomplice

This life I breathe
Like my father’s land
Betroths to me

Anywhere I feel
Has its thorn
That stings wild warriors
And their loyalists

This life I breathe
Like farm manures
Has its demon
That sucks out life
Out of living forms
Has its rose
That fills vacuums

This life I behold
For the surplus pockets
For the ways unbuilt
Like it’s God
Though, it’s of God
Has its seraph
That guides it
 Has its ogre
That hurts it

This life has spirits
Its spirits
Are things of world
Beneath and above
And you and me
