Alakple

ALAKPLE From the borders of Ketu, here I stand I command you, my stranger Go far, far beyond the land of Keta Cross the lagoon, Nonobe, Awalifi and Ledzor Beyond, there is an abode A giant piece stuck among the lot of six villages It's Alakple, the pacesetter Taste my offer All what you think, you heard, you wish If not convinced, come tomorrow I have a big place, a comfort on a straw mats: I promise For all who wish to know me Alakple, icons of forgotten heroes Home of Nyigbla, home of Kotoka I boast not but call thee mine Nearer to my bossom, I call my children Where I quest you crave, yakayake and tillapia chowder One thing, marvels Just a lot about me not known That had clouded your mind as fallacies "A village beyond the lagoon" But.... Whatever, whenever to thee, I shall return Mother, my land, Alakple From ten years absence, please call me back.
