A Letter To a Daughter

Daughter of Okadigbo, i write in perfect peace I can"t calm down the flaming fire any more Your suitors came with white teeth yesterday But returned with black one in anger. I think their heads became incorrect when they Learned that you"ve ran away from home Back to back of my mortal body i pleaded Before they left in misery without the flowers Why daughter of great Okadigbo? Which of your precious legs have developed The mind of his own to control your emotions? Obi was here white and black in reconciliation Chika your friend battled desperately with the Train of thoughts that ran through her head As i held her mercilessly in quest for you Your father raged in anger of your deed Of the doom you have committed to his business His multi-billionaire contract lost in the air My blood drained in the their streams when i beheld his face I saw them forming out from my body in twos Father said i caused it, jaja blamed me for treating you like a queen Sheba of the north Knitting my conscience together i ran abroad For rescue but mama Goke betrayed me I plunged out my eyeball watching in tears as the clashing ball wretched in my presence Father burnt down your pretty guilty dresses You were of brave heart from a lioness But act slowly, wisely to observe the character within Return home daughter, mother await in tears Roses have i place in place of you but It expressionless We would find no husband for you but you make your choice Here i am at the door staring at your shadow until You return YOUR MOTHER c) JOHN CHIZOBA VINCENT
