Joseph Osita Poet Verse

Twentynet-60's

Liberation kissed
Mother Africa.
Nigeria, Niger, Madagascar, Mali
Congo, Cameroon felt freedom
Ethiopia coup
Selassie's dethronement



Korean revolution
Students' achievement
Cloud of unity capped the church
When Bishop of Canterbury hugged Pope
Women's breakthrough
When Bandaranaike
Became world first female prime minister
Einchman's blood quenched Israel's revenge thirst



O Jeff Kennedy, we missed you!
"I have a dream “assassins why?
A speech rattled segregation
As Beatles ignite melody
Thousands dissolve
In ecstasy



Written by:Joseph Osita
For Nette Oncloud's contest:"MAGIC OF THE DECADE'S MOOD"
