A Tribute To The City That Made Me
Once a peaceful city,
haven for tourists,
lovers of nature and its ambience.
The plateau, its rocks, the cold weather and the good people.
What really happened to you?
The attractions of the butterfly are beclouded by fog.
Why the tears when the celebration is here?
People staying awake and living in perpetual fear.
Here they come again!
Brandishing weapons of offence,
maiming and killing innocent citizens,
as impunity pervades the land
Whose load do you carry?
Perpetrators of these dastardly acts of foolishness.
Wait,...
The Transformed
Poor Omeche. Born to a father of sound medical history. With no case of cancer, dating back three generations.
Leading a normal life like every other in a tiny neighbourhood called Otukpa.
