Every Road Led Out. Every Road Led Back Poem by *Tony Cemaluk Egbuonu

OQJOTO, MY OJOTO
Always going out to acquire,
and coming back with asambodo, certificates.

From Ojoto to Umuoji, BHS,
back to Ojoto.

From Ojoto all the way to Ibadan, U.I,
back to Ojoto.

From Ojoto to Osun State, NYSC,
back to Ojoto.

From Ojoto to Enugu, UNEC,
back to Ojoto.

From Ojoto to Nsukka, UNN,
back to Ojoto.

From Ojoto to Umudike, MOUAU,
to and fro.

Ojoto up, Ojoto left, down and right.
Ojoto, my Ojoto. Oh, Ojoto.

What maketh your son
patriotic,
illustrious,
Money?
Wealth?
Riches?
Might?
Sword? or
Pen, that is mightier..?
