Mama
...on earth, my sugarcane, The one who lifts me high like the aeroplane, The one whose milk nurtured me from infant, If I could give you the world I'd do that in an instant; The one who endures sleepless nights amid my cries, Special one that prepares me "Amala" lofliest than fries. The whom upon whose back I rode as a toddler, I would protect you all times more than a soldier; My angel who starves so I can eat, Who plays all times that I may ne......

...wailed, moaned sorrowfully on the sorrow They had pushed his mother into behind him. I saw him danced the forbidding dance of mouners. Things fall apart; mountain crumbled, oceans howled The gods were angry upon us for our sins. We have forgotten "Amala" and now eats Salad, We have abandoned "Akpu" and eats Rice. No more oil on the ground and yam on their shrine; The gods were angry and furious with our lives. They are no longer receiving ......
