Poem
THEY call it hummer bus
It moves with humming sound
From State to State
From country to country
Commuters are hoodwinked
They have fallen in love with this speed demon
Yes!it is speed demon
It is termed humming bird
It is humming bird because it soars
From every road this hummingbird traverses
All the passengers packed like goats for sacrifice to Amadioha
As a gift to Udume
It zooms!
In twinkle of an eyes,
It has gotten to its destination
People are now hoodwinked, leaving their first love-luxury buses
Like a bee to the nectar !
Like flies to excreta!
Passengers are drawn to hummer buses
Like a hummingbird ,it has bewitched them
With its enchantment, people have divorced luxury buses
To go into ephemeral relationship with this hummingbird
The relationship that is unpredictable
Daily it bays for blood of passengers
They are sacrificed to a speed demon
Daily people die
Daily people’s future are shattered
But they are not deterred
Just because of the attraction
Simply they are enchanted
Hummer bus ,they must use
Even at the risks of their lives
The steel -hearted broke down with a sight of mother
and her baby on her leg burnt to death
Still in sitting position inside hummer bus-a sacrifice to speed demons
In another scene there were no survivors
All the passengers were sent to great beyond
To hell or to heaven they were despatched
It is chilling !
It is blood cuddling !
Simply frightening !
Yet the hummer bus is displacing luxury buses
Daily people are romancing it
Daily people are divorcing luxury buses
Why this enchantment?
Why?Why?
Why are people bewitched ?
Break the shackles !
Escape and run for your dear lives
Return to your first love-luxury buses
Return and live.
