Umuahai

The bustling,hustling and bumping of humans 
Vehicular moves
An early hour rush
We the fools rushed
The ease of a fool
The slowest thing in the human cosmos
At the crossroads we stood,
O yes FMC !
Beating traffic rules is in our blood ,
Opposite GTB are images of Ochendos
A rickety railway smiling at the banks
Smokes of suya tempting 
The heavenlies
Does the heavenliest eat suya? 
Adjacent are jobless readers jaw jawing politics 
At the newspapers stand
Umuahia my Second Home
