ALTAR ALTERS THE DESTINY (An Original Poetry)

Jejune sneering, snickering snickers
lights flickering on the rune
the future is encapsulated in a crystal
of those who dine with figurines
mixed concoction reeking like urine
the gurgling of their cooking cauldron
escaping east toward the naive skies
gibberish mutter, foul murmuring
upon a gory elevation a lamb is slain
darkened by the smouldering of the sun

---

Altar, alters their destiny
a peek into a firmament of hollowness
emanciated skull, reddened water
guttural chants upon native flutes
like the howling of beasts in the wildling
goosebumps on your conscience
a lateral incision on your thumb
thunders showing skills in cinematography
eyes blue as the depth of the marine
still, the windy wind are hollering.

---

Upon this alter, alters fate
a benign heart bemoans faith
blood is water and water is blood
loud thudding and xylophone foreboding
from a pinnacle to a miry ground
soul in enslavement, words in enjambment
and the taste of hell on the tongue
is like a mushroom to the mouth
crawling in high places but living on demise

---

Alter the fortune of the mild
the spirit songs and ghostly screams
drunken with ecstacy
the hooting of the obeche owls
a screeching in the soul
snapping the neck of endemic fowls
and watch them do a semi circular dance
on the circular floor of the grisly deities
where the eyes is over feasted with wickedness
alter the destiny on these altars.
