SERIES: THE POETRY OF JOHN ODEY ADUMA (FROM THE TREE BY THE RIVER)
The whole humanity now knows
You are wiser than your rider
Who without provocation head-butted you
In the glare of the Klieg lights.
And the whole wide world -
Even the world now knows
That you are more cultivated, cultured and civilized
Than your rider who without caring a hoot
Threw civility and decorum to the winds.
