Analysis of Ignorance has killed me

Neekpoa Patrick jr 1997 (Ogoni, southern)



Ignorance has killed me

They told me,
I'm but the Shakespeare of philosophy
The roaring lion in a fatal forest
Spirit spring romantically to my Royalty You dare not dare my concept
But they bark proudly of a dog

Rogue, Rotten, Rustle, and Rubbish
My view of their vision
Liars Without lies to offer
Their intellect is good for nothing
Bellows braggart-ly of the bull

In the dark been me
I joyously cook away my conscience-ness With excitement, I exposed my nakedness
At the marketplace
Laughing dancing and smiling to the grave Spoiled to a point of no repair.

Oh!
Ignorance has killed me
They bribe my pride!!
