Message At Giza by Ajise Vincent

Yester night, at the tunnel beside the pyramid of Giza, I met a boy whose only source of nutrition is the mucus from his leaking nose & tears from his raining eyes. He broke my chain of ignorance & told me tales -- Tales of how the noun called people is modified by adjectives of sufferance; Tales of how the land has been barren and now seeks fertilizers called policies; Tales of how the Nile of our shamed-past drowns any cargo of fulfillment. He told me tales of how devils now cast spells of chaos using the rod of Moses. Abracadabra.
