Soyinka I
simply put it to you
It's mine to slay you `father`; though I ain't
Murdering you as you did to that brave saint
Pistol-shot by your hands, the hands of two
Actors murderous to her a woman
Outrightly brave against the inhuman
Men called Soyinka and Ige displayed
On that murderous day she bravely paid
Life with one last act of heroic deed
Unfathomably courageous indeed
Against you, you `father` who with Ige
Brought a brave dame down with a gun that day.
I slay you `father` not with a gunshot,
Given my redeemer's course, it's my lot.
