There was a writer When there was a country He was a man of the readers. His pen was no longer at ease As he shot the arrows of the gods Only for things to fall apart Now he sails with Chike in the river The war with the girls has siezed And the Savanna is still with no anthills Okonkwo is dead Ezeulu is confused The Biafran clan is mourning 1 Like 1 Share |

Things fall apart Man of the people Arrows of the gods No longer ease Chike and river Read years back as a teenager in secondary. Some I read 2 or 3 times. Truly reading has been destroyed. I find it difficult now reading through there was a country, not with all the time spent on nairaland and other sites. RIP Prof Achebe |
