Poem
Faraway in an unknown
Unknown distant land
Land she sleeps
And wake all alone
All alone she lives
Lives and waits
Waits for me to come
Waits for me to come
Come take her to be 
mine.

Every morning
In that faraway
Distant and unknown 
land
She sings and sweeps 
Like the African Woman 
she is!

...Inside her
Is my child
Yet unborn...

It is to you
My unborn child
That this address is to...

...My child
Whenever, Wherever 
and Whichever
Way you choose to come
Into this world
May you meet this as a 
gift
From me to you!!!

...I am your father
Pride you are to me
See you not I may
And see you I may
But let it ring down in 
you
That a pride to me
You are...

...This world you are
Coming into
Is a ugly beautiful place
A hopefully hopeless city
A beautiful city
With ugly villages
Which houses men
Of different varied 
intents
And women
Whose animalistic 
innerlings
Are covered with 
glowing skins
And ready made 
garments!!!

...I had done my part
My part to bring you 
hither
And leave for you
A lot of deeds
Both good and not too 
good
Also bad and not too 
bad.
I had done my part
To bring you hither
In the best vessel 
around! 
And grow will you
In this truly wicked 
world
To be nice and 
righteous
Till you strive and 
strive
To make it 
Better than you met it...
Just like I
Your father...

...You know me not
My unborn child
But my news you hear
From that which is your 
carrier
Of the too many bads
That I did
And of too few goods
That by me are done.
Struggle! Struggle!!
My dear Unborn Child
To better my deeds
And better your lots
For the betterment of 
the world!...

...Though it be cruel to 
you
Fight to abrogate 
cruelity
Though it be ugly to you
Struggle to promote 
beauty
Though it be a hell for 
you
Endeavour to create a 
heaven in it.

...For the world
Is always not what 
It seem to be
And in it
Nothing remains as it is
For so long a time
Like Mariama Ba's
Long Letter!...

...So my dear child
Learn from my story
Avoid my pitfalls
Use my strengths
Understand my 
weaknesses
And drink from my 
wisdom pot 
And it shall better you...

...For...
You are
My Unborn Child...
