Fire Me Up! Poem by Augustine Yirideme

Fire Me Up!



Chilly Harmattan weather here in T-city
But I know just how to feel easy
Give me some warmth,
Thou Cymbopogon Citratus
Fire me up, inside out!

The Ignorant say you're just but a grass
They know not that thou healeth hearts
Water bubbling as you boil in the pan
In minutes your scented juice is in hand
A little stirring with drops of Mole's honey
And you're set for your lonely journey
Fire me up, inside out!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
With a couple of lemon grasses blossoming in my #10 KK High-Street yard here in Tamale (Ghana) , I'm immune to the much dreaded cold Harmattan weather. Plus, we're told lemon grass is medicinal especially for the heart........ now that's what we call 'jaara'. :)
