I Will Write About This Place Soon
I will write about my ancestral
home soon Because she is my root
When the world recognizes my voice shall i write
I will write about those tall trees in my family compound
I will write about the forefathers and their homes
The masquerade in the forest, the ikoro of my land
The traditional marriage rites where a man pays the dowries
Isn't right for a woman to take charge of that?
I will write about Nkporo people, their hospitality
I will stand tall and tell the world where i come from
I will write about the rivers when i grow up
I will write about those pretty women of Nkporoland
The tall pretty girls who drive men crazy with their
Buttock
I will write about the unconstructed roads
The power outrage in that beautiful village
Wait for me i am coming to interview you
So that you could tell me your own side of the story
I will write about love when i grow up
I will write about Melissa, my first love
I will write about Nneoma, my mistress
But i must keep her file away from melissa
I don't really wants Melissa to know Nneoma
Neither do i want Nneoma know about melissa
I can't afford to loose any of them
I will write about the witches
The king and finally the arrogant chief priest
Who raped young ladies in the forest of Okike
I will surely write about this place soon
