A Pandemic Voice
By Mohamed Gibril Sesay, Freetown, Sierra Leone.
A pandemic voice
Vector of diseased words
Like virus of Zika
Giving birth to small brain thoughts
They say the Zika mosquito is male
Is angry male bred in stranded ponds
Stranded ponds of stale waters
Of waters unable to join the flow of rivers
Rivers that refresh
Rivers that irrigate fields of life
The pandemic voice
Loudness is trumping truth
Bits of glass put in foo foo of okra
To fool their mouths into lacerating their guts
Or mesmerized by its sizzling in the loud oils
They wolf the expired chicken of salmonella
