Foot Print Poem by Adidu Adebowale Emmanuel

Just at the time of honour the beautiful stars peep out from their duck
the journey seem's so short but to complete it look more difficult
though you live in the land were glory die before honour and you've added little to the beauty of the ground too soon but your foot prints were not erased,
having worked earnestly we brought you home shoulders high to set you in the town of stiller people
where titan's who could not rest stop and take their rest
ho i cannot cry out as this should be made oblivious
one beautiful morning i looked at the sky and saw the rays of the new born sun searching my heart for the foot print you've left behind and it shine's out so bright
ho i realise now we really lost a rear gen

not unto you, but to those who gave us cocoyam while we were to survive by beans
again, i cannot cry out as this also should remain oblivious
for we have been made sitting on a thongs heap chair at the same time swim in the well because the river dried up.
