His poems have been translated into Chinese, Dutch, Spanish and French. On the dome and over the garland of opulent leaves, the choir out-sang symphonies, vocals of every caliber— soloists, duets, and ensembles pouring out melodies. The bush was a countryside fair of a thousand voices that rang from pre-dawn through wakeful hours. The doors are now closed to the population of treedom after the holocaust of millennial axes and cutlasses; a vast dune is the brown seat of the imperial desert with hot air conducting the triumphant trumpet of victors.

Imagine the loss in capital and heritage of the nobility of the iroko, mahogany, obeche, and the lineage of heights! All the shields against fearsome diseases trampled to dust. Once the giants got decapitated, the undergrowths wiped out, all other species of glamour ground into interminable sand. With the forest gone, the bloodbath hushed over by rites of sprinkling confetti at wraiths of a once proud stock; the doors themselves fueled the delirium of seasonal fires.

Humans, shut out, smart from the climate change. The doors of the forest are closed to peace and joy by the poaching perpetrated in the silence of lust.
