Wisdom is stronger than might

A short dramatic Prose/Poetry.

The offended he-goat arose in anger

Nose flaring, horns in attack position

Hoofs pounding the dust, he rode the winds en route to Agu’s lair

The battle of unequals is about to begin.

Roused by the noisy insolence of the angry goat

Agu got up wondering “who dares me in my Palace”

“A goat” – the onlooking crowd roared back in answer

Then he will learn that “no matter how old Agu becomes, it will not affect his making meal of goats”.

*************************

From afar they sized each other

The eyes of the goat blood red

Agu bitter from the insolence of the short goat

Vultures began circling in anticipation for the feast about to be served.

*******************************

Suddenly, the voice of the one-eyed Parrot broke into the tensed atmosphere as he started singing

“The day you bite the tail of the sleeping lion

Is the day you will experience the wrath of the angry gods

Nwa ewu has bitten more than he can chew

No monkey trickery will save him from the pain to come…. tra là lala….”

Agu roared and crouched low to spring his attack

The goat answered with a forceful, furious bleat

So forceful, it resulted into unstoppable coughs

Releasing a loud and smelly fart, he suddenly collapsed and played dead.

*******************************

The charging lion came to an abrupt halt

The stifling odor of the goats fart too much to bear

“I wonder what type of grass he had been eating” he pondered

…”Climate change is badly affecting the jungle“, so he departed.

*******************************

Hours after the umunna had dispersed

The goat got up and shook the dust off his coat

“Where is Agu he asked in feigned disgust

I am sure he ran away when I showed him my chest muscles while lying on my back“.

Later at home in the evening, his wife accused him of cowardice

“I died so that I may live” he countered”

“I went to ala mmuo and came back to tell the story “

…..”So you may know that Wisdom is stronger than might”.

SELAH.
