River Nkporo

From the east it went majestically to the west to the North it brings blessing and peace To the great inhabitant of Nkporo. Its waters the south amiably to the favour of the hills Mountains and the green grasses of the field. O river Nkporo, thou art mighty, spiritual center of anticipation Leave us not alone. Be our guide and never allow the contamination of the western oceans. Those are evil river, those are rivers of pain and sorrow. Remember unto them salt was brought to you But then when my forefathers dreamt of you There was no dream for salt in you. You were tasteless and pure, colourless and harmless, Now the black liquid had feasted on your humble spirit Bad manners corrupt good manners . where are the goddess of the river? Where is the god of harvest and thunder? Have you forgotten the Epic tears from Mbadiwe? He was once in the river promoting peace and love Among Nkporo inhabitant but now, Rings and gun powder are found inside my beloved River Nkporo. The holy book was once seen beside the mighty rock Where the queen dwell every sun set to Govern the land to achieve that which destiny has in stock for her. How were you corrupted? Papa will never appreciate what we have done neither will mama be happy. O river Nkporo, the white got you corrupted The laws were broken and the bound divided in tears. Your dignity carried away and the glory departed from us. The great spring is gone with the rock, Now we all cry but never will you come back . The deed had been done.
