Letter To Prof Wole Soyinka Poem by Stephen Olufemi Omolara

Letter To Prof Wole Soyinka



to the stone that sharpens axe,
kudos.
to the stone that grinds pepper,
kudos.
to the bird that swallows snake,
kudos.
to the woman who swallows man,
kudos.
to the man who swallows lion,
kudos.
to the hunter who returns
from exploit, when the day breaks,
kudos!
