Mother’s dream gone to jail
As offspring imbibe civilization unknown
Bash mother’s ideas to underneath fashion
Oh freedom on campus is salty meal on nose
Trousers fit to skin in “V” shape at confluence region
Absolute freedom is madness; all plateau of ignorance.
Mother’s dream gone to jail
As dream is stillborn cum nakedness
Thighs disdain prestige to table for C.G.P.A
Thighs cum penny atones for marks
Postinors play host to pit latrines infant dreams
Veteran Aeschylus in bed; Sophocles of immorality
Taboos made norms!
Mother’s dream gone to jail
Hope withers like cassava leaves in harmattan
Dream sacrificed on altars of shawarma and Brazilian mask
Jailed by Carrion birds in academic cum
Matriculation gown in frog shaped land boats
Buttocks vibrate fair speechless messages
Dreams shrink like shrubs; mother gets
Souvenirs of Golgotha as trophy for care on campus
Like those looking for Caesar
Yet going to Caesarea for Caesar.
