Living waters

Against strict orders in the housa’ god
baptized Livinus the saint he wasn’t
Couldn’t tell you, couldn't you tell he wasn’t 
cursed and abnormally lean spurn by another void
huge scar, from birth he couldn’t talk
for longer period he shook his heads when he walk
Poor fish transformed and meant to flock 
Cried, he cried in protest as his forehead slip water apart
Betrayed her after she wiped your tears with water
wave you her ripples as you lay at the river banks with your legs apart
swam into you and made you whole
Ask'not but the swimmer bear Idemili and nothing else
Never to take him where the half naked man stay hung
Where money is preached and detest is love
No what say you as his chains pronounce his presence?
why do you clutch their hands in his warmth and shudder?
He shouted Inesinam, at the hole as the other 
shouted back. infuriated, Irusinamaka when I point at you
Inesinam I am warning you, In the end just like me and you
He fell to deal with his own reflections. In the well
Chains, cuffs, and with all confidence to let loose, all hell.
