Niger'area Poem by Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu

Niger'area



Nigeria, where one is,
But one is not
Born a, and in
Still not!
A united divisible entity
Alway not at ease with herself
With all her offspring
Opting a slave anywhere
Than been free on her soil
Knowing that her freedom
is worse than slavery
Knowing that freedom is slavery.
Everything is wrong
with this woman
Life in her is worse
than life in hades
If possible, none wants to stay in her
To run away, even if it means
running to hell.
For here, one is two
Cats and rats
All is her
No one is a her
A house divided against itself.

-Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu, Rabboni.
