The Poet Who Saw It Before The World Saw It

When the Nigerian poet Orikinla Osinachi wrote the "Veiled Assassin", he never knew that his fictional story was actually similar to how the male suspect in the major anti-terrorist investigation in London also escaped capture disguising himself as a Muslim woman dressed in a burqa. Was is it a coincidence or a prophetic foresight?

In the "Veiled Assassin", a terrorist disguised in a burqa assassinated a writer in London and escaped with his accomplices who were also men in the burqa,

The author of "Scarlet Tears of London" said he has been suspecting Islamic terrorists of using their veils as the means of disguise in their suicide attacks.
"When a Muslim is all covered up in the burqa, you cannot identify whether it is a woman or woman. So, the burqa is the perfect disguise for terrorists to launch attacks anywhwere and escape from being identified and captured," Osinachi said.

His book of romantic, religious and political poems "Scarlet Tears of London" is dedicated to the memory of the victims of the London terrorist bombings of July 7, 2005.
"When the terrorist bombings shook London on July 7, 2005, the rest of the world gaped and gasped in horror. When I saw a woman bleeding and shedding tears I was petrified as I saw her face in red and I saw scarlet tears," he recalled.

"Scarlet Tears of London" highlighted the hatred between Islamists and the Zionists and the war on terror. But, also celebrated the passions of a Christian who is in love with a beautiful Muslim maiden Sunniya whose brother Mustafa became a suicide bomber. The poet preaches that love can put an end to islamophobia and terrorism.

There are echoes of the enchanted Lebanese Amercan visionary poet Kahlil Gibran in the poetry Orikinla Osinachi who is also an artist like Gibran.

"Of course, Gibran's 'The Prophet' is one of my most treasured books."

What will the poet and prophet foresee next?
