I Am Gosezua Son of light And here is my story borne out of grief for my country An allegorical and symbolic story about The nation true patriots Nuptial Allegory of the State of the Nation(a Short Story) Once upon a time in a faraway land Lived an aged poor man Whose suffering and misery was the object and of his neighbors laughter But his comfort was the joy he got from the sight of his only daughter Geria was her name And as she turned 16 years old In that culture she was of Marriageable age Geria as a child was timid and frail Her stoned dead expression and saddened face Made fathers wonder and mothers wail But as she became a youth her beauty protruded And the young men complained that her walking seduced them Image of Geria 1 Like |

Hope was in sight for Geria She had fallen in love With a young promising man Who would treat her like a dove But there came another, a tired old man Who was older than her father And always wore a frown The old man contested that he will not rest until Geria is his And he wouldn’t mind To battle by fists The fight was set and the war bells rang For the old and the young blood to fight man to man It lasted only an instant The loved man had won against his older contestant And Geria was hopeful of a blissful future close by and not distant Image of Geria and her young lover 1 Like |

But her fathers greed came into question, From the union with her lover he took his blessing But to The old man who paid gold and silver the poor man did not hesitate to give her On her wedding day there was silence On her final dance it was a shame The injustice shall birth violence And her fathers greed shall birth the same But the lover is on guard The young blood has a plan What would be the result we may not understand But soon the Daughter shall be returned to her Man Image of the two Old men The poor Father and The Rich inlaw 1 Like |
