Nigeria's Buhari: A Poem

The Smile of the Deadly Clown

And Nigeria lays shining in a sun that is about to die, a cruel death.
The people dance around, in their colorful tribal processions.
They are dead. They are the walking dead, before the raging seas of history drown them.

There should be no massive deployment of American ground forces into the fight against ISIS.---Fubara David-West.
