**IMMINENT SAPA, INEVITABLE JAPA **
the day dawns
the night dusks
time travels into tomorrow
and Naija gets emptier
because Sapa is imminent
Japa is inevitable
brains melt and seep out
through the pages of visas
only to freeze on the colder side
to be preserved and put to use
because Sapa is imminent
Japa is inevitable
children are evicted from their homes
by the barbed hands of hunger
shoved out like bastards
into the arms of strangers
because Sapa is imminent
Japa is inevitable
