Paint our eventful past
With sleek, masterful bold brushes
That their bold artistic ingenuity
May fill the colossal canvas of continuity
Sketch the vivid colours of our gentle triumph
With the prowess of Picasso
That the colourful hue and tint
May be worn like a coat of pretty colours
Bear handsome hieroglyphics
In palms with graceful graphics
That we may sit the future
In our yearning hands
Sculpt the faraway yesterday
The horns and bleating of vehicles of centuries afar
Like a beautiful Benin art
That their silhouette may nurture
My fretting steps in the future..
