Home Medicines

Invincible craving for the relish from home, Laughter in deep dimples sets as lava, seats silently with desires. Mother’s medicines rejuvenate, Food, Bring them from Africa. Especially from Mami’s kitchen, Where the aroma helps develops patience, The taste of unblemished earthenware, Unsoiled by the greed of GMO Unfrozen fresh, unpolluted with preservatives. Bring me Egusi, laden with numerous healthy proteins, Amala enflamed with circling of igbako, Ewedu must never be ignored, where gbegiri sets the suiting taste Where is Iyan which I savour with fish, Ikokore that suiting tase that ask for more. Efo riro , the delicious taste that brings all to the table, Fed by nature with organic uniqueness Meal onioned and appetite salivating, Take me to Africa, where meals are freshly cooked Away from these Tins and cans Where Fish is fish indeed, Vegetables are grown with nature’s lushness. I starve in far off climes, Away from Nature’s table Supported by Poison from laboratories Silently ebbing out by supplement, weakening the immunity. Pharmacist turning healthy bodies to experiments, With concoctions of fabricated medicines. Vaccines and jab as alternatives, First Jab, Second Jab leading all to their graves. Far away from natures herbs Take me to Africa, Where tables are set to heal the frame The careful selection of True Mothers. Come to the Banquet of untainted Nature.
