Festival Of Hunters Poem by Femipeadia Stories

It's festival time
Like a carnival prime
It's festival of Hunters
We will tour the village of Nnewi
It's a season where all and sundry clamour for new feast
It's the reason where all the laundry rancour for new clothes
The festival of Hunter is always a darling moment for us
A moment of gunshots and merriment
Usually by the hunters and their families
A moment where brothers and sisters meet again
Where we feast and drink palmewine to pulp
Where we played Ayo olopon till the breaking of the day
A day where we walk at night and dance with no fear
A moment where the gods of the land are being offered a sacrifice
A moment where the gods emerged from their hidden places
To dance with the living soul
After a long departure to express love
Festival of Hunter is gradually getting extinguished
Either by the emergence of Christianity or Islam
I am anxious of the beautiful moment filled with joy
Festival of Hunter can never be forgotten in African land
Festival means happiness and celebration of good things
Oh ye festival of hunters, when next is our festival?
