CAGE THESE BEASTS

He moved with warpped
Steps and smiled to her
She paused, and was wrapped
In fear as her heart almost
Failed her

He winked and moved
Closer,
With the shiny foil in
His hands, he nobbled her.

Ignorantly, she took his
Warm hands as her father's
But the thought in his
Heart was nothing to wonder

In that hour, she gave in.
As he held her close and
Took her in.

Now he swooned into and ruptured
Her little slimy depth
She wailed! And her tears touched
The bowels of the earth

Ah! She has been deceived
With a moan of satisfaction
He was relieved

Oh! For yonks, such stigma
Will not be eased,
But injustice will have him
Early released.

This a wake up call,
Stand up and guard your
Hearts with God's word.

The lives of these unscrupulous
Beings shall not flourish
'Coz this scandal shall not be
Lifted unpunished

This goes to show that for a long time, since Fela passed on and Eedris Abdulkareem kept mute, there hasn’t been a song with a message rocking the media space –talk more of one with a strong and clear message. Tekno has broken the jinx of “message-less” and empty songs –and this makes it standout as a delectable hit song. The piece exudes a deja vu of the heydays when music championed a course an...
