Nigerian Libraries of Yesterday

Repositories of The British-Donated: Of texts like bombs detonated; Books from their libraries discharged; The-Given-Out, not a dime charged … A Harvest of The Happily Released Because of The New that must be increased; Books that have lost The Right to Remain There, Better reasonably dumped elsewhere Between The Hard paper Back Like strong keys to hack And The Partly Fragile of Skin Whose sight sometimes win … Books freely circulating British Philosophy But equally peddling America’s Theosophy; A growth presumed from Her Majesty’s Concern For our Intellectual Darkness times ten! Also, a reply to the worries of her users Wanting to occupy seats sort of useless.
