Prisoner's Food Poem by Tony Adah
Prisoner's Food
Between the white grains
Of rice are brown bean seeds
Spiced with red chilli pepper
And over -salted
Waited some prisoner's food.
They themselves clad
In threadbare calico
Went abush chopping some wood
But return to see
Some grains looking
Like toad's eye
Half done waiting for them.
