Bago bago…
Sounded the drums at the village square,
This time not for a mere elderly meeting nor was it for a village gathering.
Neither was it for a warrior’s announcement.
So I dash into the hut,
Alerting grand-pa,
Who was sited by the fire side sniffing snuff
Child; he childed
The drums speaks at a distance,
But the elders had predicted.
Sit down, he added
You are being summoned by the Ngû at the village shrine,
Following the issue between you and Nyibio
Meanwhile I sad down listening to grand-pa,
I took things light;
Besides the princess is in love with me and not with that old notable Nyibio
Son; he sonded
You are to appear there before three days,
If not you will be banish from this land.
But I prefer you go and check “whatz” wrong tomorrow.
So I set off for the shrine as early as possible the next day;
Arriving the shrine and seeing the angry look of the shrine master,
I knew there was going to be trouble.
Nyibio must have motivated him,
And
A battle between David and Goliath was certain.
Stand here; he said
Speak out, he added arrogantly
Tell the gods what you know about the princess;
It continues…

Uncle, as I uncled him
My child, he childed me
Speak.
What have I done to deserve all these?
What curse has been placed on me?
Where am I?
What is the problem my son?
Sonded uncle
As he drew his piper
I have worked hard,
Planted,
But harvested none
Even my own bros
Have turned away their eyes on me
Without mercy,
Leaving me hopeless without a home
Jobless without coins
And miserable in desperation,
I know not value of rest,
Yet
It seems I have invited a lion to diner.
So it's true,
This world has made a chunk of chunk less
A fool out of me,
Son, he sonded
Then the handshake has passed the elbow,
And the naked must have promise you cloth;
But
Take hope, take hope
And have faith.
What hopes have I not had?
What faith?
And besides patience,
Son, he sonded again
Uncle, I uncled him
I have heard you.
