Dr Fixit (Africa's Longest Poem) Volume Two Godwin Inyang

Dr Fixit, back in his native continent, keeps writing his film script: in SCENE SIX, the troops break a core rule; in SEVEN, a commander reports two troops for smooching. In EIGHT, Dr Fixit preaches against romance in the camp but in NINE, his female second in command's movements distract him and a stiff struggle ensues to banish the image from his mind but the still small voice steals in to engage him in the theme of 'love' and he also points out the futility of his mission to save the world. The emotional and mental battle continues till SCENE THIRTEEN where the still small voice, quite jealous, transforms into a praying mantis and there is a violent physical fight between it and the soldier ant.
