Poem
Mother Africa, Gather your sheep like a good shepherd. Teach them morals and guide them rightly, Educate them on African Values and culture. Protect your sheep from the hynas and lions That parade more in the forest of life to kill. Remember the community begins at home. I know you are not irresponsible like the Goat Who has three breast but gave birth to four kids; What will the fouth kid suck if others are sucking? Guide the boys to stop looking at the Ladies lustfully, The girls must bring their husband home as it is Stated in the tradition of Africa, no under tree love. Cover your children with your wings like Mother Hen covers her chicks against the kites. Do not go loose in front of the young minds; For when mother cow is cropping giant grasses Her calf watches her from behind the scene. Act like the mother you are not like a child you're not. When a child misbehaves in your presence, Hit him with a rod of correction and bring him Back to your side with a sweet flavoured left hand. Educate the ladies how to close their legs while sitting, and the boys, you must not leave behind; Teach them that Africans never pregnate a lady before they marry her and the younger ones, Tell them that Africans don't put their trouser on their waists. See her in skimpy skirt and drive the skirt away from her waist, African women don't wear skimpy skirt. Those whose wrapper always untie because of civilization, padlock the wrapper to their waists. Those boys whose pants flip up and down publicly, Tie their pants with ropes to their waist, Africans have a face to preserve and protect in days to come. She lust after money when in love and lost her value, show her what love means to Africans. Father Africa, leave all not in the hands of Mother, Bark when you needs to bark in front of your sheep. Roar like a wounded Lion when the sheep goes wild, All should not be left in the hands of Mother Africa Nature has made us two, two together, two hearts beating as one can preserve many lost dignities. You and you can save the you that stray away in shame. (C) John Chizoba Vincent All Right Reserved 2016
