The yawn of armageddon, by Ibrahim Chiroma (Ba’aba)
The Middle of the earth
The Fountain of knowledge
The birth place of Monotheism.
The Centre of conflicts.
The mother of modern ways.
Inventions for good.
Inventions for death and destruction.
Inventions for man to thrive in ease.
To live on consumption and greed.
To live for comfort and exploitation.
The memories of the Middle of the World.
Leaves scars of wars and famine.
Lost Garden of Eden and Wealth.
Ancient Gods and people of knowledge.
warriors, Lords, wisemen and louts.
Several Centuries elapsed.
Several generations come and go.
Millions died long ago.
Millions live every day.
Yet, yes Yet, no one has
Mastered how to live in peace.
No one understands how fliting
Life is on earth.
No one understands humanity.
No one wants to be human.
No one remembers his origin.
No one sees the grave yard of history.
No one sees the Wisdom of king Solomon.
No one sees the devotion of Abraham.
The toil of Moses.
No one sees the bones of Goliath.
The killings continue.
The savagery continues.
The exploitation continues every day.
The debasing of man by man is seen
in every home.
It is amusement to the powerful.
It was sanctioned by the Masters of the World.
The Masters of the universe.
The neo Pagans of Society.
The new slave drivers of the planet.
The Golden masters of lucre and greed
The builders of Paradise on Earth.
Un mindful of their time on earth.
Building empire of blood and souls.
Laughing at the servant of God
Jeering the believer of God.
Mocking the piety of man.
Greed has stirred the slumber
of Armageddon .
greed has dispersed the children
of Armageddon.
Greed has overtaken the
Masters of the universe.
The seeds of Armageddon is
Germinating in Europe.

It is sprouting in the Middle of the Earth.
It is watered in the Money Houses of
Manhattan.
It is strangulating the Arm
Industries of America.
The trigger happy society of arrogance.
Soon, very soon Armageddon will yawn.
The first steps to be awake
to open its eyes.
Clear its mind and thoughts.
It will spit fire at injustice
Emasculation and hate,
Exploitation and slavery.
It will burn all.
It will take down everyone and everything.
It will bring the end near
It will end the stubborn man
Who never learn to be human.
The end of the thinking animal.
That never think for his own good.
Ba’aba Ibrahim, a former Director PRS and Budget in the Federal Judicial Service Commission, writes from Abuja.
