RANDOM SNAPS

Niyi Osundare

What can get worse

     Can also get better

The ladder which takes us down the hill

     Has rungs right enough for our upward climb

If you are a lover of shadows

     Don’t look for them in the darkest night

If you live your life before the mirror

     You may end up in love with an absent idol

Silence

     Is not the absence of

Sound

     But its unheard alternative

The Peace they promise

     Lives in the House of War

They who send carpet bombs at breakfast time

     And ‘humanitarian’ bread at the close of day

Our obvious vulnerabilities are

     Sometimes sources of our hidden strength

The long-expected angel

     Sometimes arrives with a monster’s mask

Are we heading for that bend

     In the road

Where wrong is right    

     And right is wrong?
