She Quenched our Battle

It has been a long wait,
Longer but reached 
The battle that enemy started 
Was nailed perpendicularly 
With our lovely Princess!

Long, long ago!
A dream was conventional 
To quench the burning stick
Nicknamed national quizzes 
But resources and timing
Kicked away our fantasy 
Though struggled enough
But never fought abundantly

Here came the princess
Erisinta her name 
And said Dad don’t worry!
Leave the battle on me 
No army is needed
I can conquer all alone  
And sent the enemy far
Quash him to death 
And that is what she did
A Princess of the Royal Ng’abokwa 

A single-digit score,
With lower points than all,
Leveled Chibe and Chinga
Our SPS vanity 
This is the real fight,
That my soul dreamed of, 

Come and celebrate,
It is our culture to party,
Start mbeta all the way
The best of our tribe dances
Bigha Chimono bigha!
For if you stop dancing
Stones and sand shall!
Glorify our God,
For he has side our fight 

Don’t forget the rituals   
That bound us with grace
Praise the Almighty! 
For His mercy and blessings 
Have showered our canopy

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style.
