For all biafrians everywhere
The wind of change is blowing
It carries a lot forces
But after it storm
Still we will stand tall
That is a destiny
Not a decision
oil and water
we can't be in their names
any longer
we can't continue as one nation
any more
we are like an outcast with
same nationality like them
we are not fighting to get wars
we only need our indigenous rights
even our colony recognise
we can't be together
no wonder they said
we are like
oil and water
long live biafra
In Biafra, when we drank from the tilting
cusps of dank leaves and washed with the spittle
of cassava,
the sun scorched like hell.
Añuruedoahu*, the oasis of war, like worldly
cowrie, stagnant, yet devoid of rural fetish,
calmed our nerves and built in the altar of
our souls hopes of answered prayers.
*A mysterious stream in the poet's village.
