A Poem Composed By Richard ..... Heritage by gbanikiti(m): 12:10pm On Mar 09, 2018 |
HERITAGE In time take time while time doth last Those times we had long past the sands of time Our stopped wall clock once told the history in green The swinging pendulum telling how long time has passed We were there in those times When we lit our firewood with molten stones We tied our gele around our waist dancing at the village square When Okonkwo decided to save his shillings from the sales of his father’s land We were there in those times When we could tell the times from the rising of the sun Played around the trees with different pair of slippers We then tune our TV stations by 4 and chorused our National Anthem We were there in those times When we were taught with faded chalks on a charcoal board When our right hand could touch our left ear before we could get into school Wandered through the bushes looking for Cashew nuts and bush meats We were there in those times When we gained independence With our unity in diversity and cultural naturalization Wearing green white green We were there in those times When we could mould basket from canes in North When we could fry our groundnuts with firewood and sand in the South Lit our lanterns with coals from Enugu We were there in those times When Nigeria won the Africa Nations Cup in 1980 and 1994 When we had Gold in football at the Olympics in 1996 And played our first World Cup in 1994 We were there in those times When we rode our rickety bicycles from Edo to Ondo When we rode our wooden canoes from kwara to Kogi And had our first Car ride from Lagos to Ibadan In those times You had wondered where we were We were where we were We are xxxxxxxx Our times can tell The timeless xxxxxx xxxxxxx….
