Nkporo: My Country Home 6 Poem by John Chizoba Vincent

Life in Nkporo is very fun and appealing,
There we play hide and seek with the girls.
We rocked and rolled with boom boom rock lock.
Dance Kpakpangolo-udume that stupid songs,
We also sang Onye ga agba egwu with our
Torn clothes and bare footed we walked about.
During the moonlight, we listened to old tales
Of Ndimgba- the tortoise from old grand pa.
And the trees smiled and the moon danced along in
The Dirty water inside the rusty iron bucket
Ignoring the shouts and noise of the children.
Life was fun and appealing to us
No one thought or remembered his past,
and our stomach neither rumbled nor trembled.
We sang with our spirit so high and cute.
