Songs of Anisha “Of Rabble-Rousers,” by Kunle Shittu Their Pawky pounds of flesh- A tailor’s nightmare! Their Greasily rotund cheeks An artist’s sickly graffiti! On glistening floors They sit Yawning And scratching Scabies-infested bums In and out Of red light Bars They swap sweats With sleazy sluts Handsomely Their vaults are stashed With mint notes Yet Bills that touch millions Tango with dust And lie untouched. “At Least,” by Sarah O’Gorman I walked where the road was I ran away where the danger was I cried where the pain was I lied where the fear was and I died where the gun was I sang where the music was I gave where the need was I tried where the effort was I fell where the failure was and I helped where the hope was until I sleapt where the dreaming was. 50
