The World, in a Fume of Pandemic Anxiety

By Yemi-D Prince

The World, in a Fume of Pandemic Anxiety, whose objective is to reduce the world population by two and a half billion (2.5 billion), is a vaudevillian and dramatic poetry, aimed at drawing our attention to some recent and past events--political, economical, social/cultural, and even health issues that have disrupted commonality/mankind since 2019.

 

Partitioned into Vaudeville One and Vaudeville Two:  Vaudeville One senses how the fear and the fake alarm of Corona-virus have reduced the kingdom of man to sheer powerlessness, and forced mankind to flee to the the Animal Kingdom, and how Lion, the king and Queen Lioness have received mankind with open arms.

 

Vaudeville Two dramatizes how my grandfather, Ojo, was kidnapped, enslaved and later released as a free happy man.
