Nigerian Nepa Poem by Joshua Adeyemi

Nigerian Nepa



NIGERIAN NEPA
"When you get what you don't deserve, you feel like the reserved"

1) The torch lightens the room,
The proud electricity gives it loom.
'Up Nepa' everyone elate their glottis:
Professional, Amateur and Novice.
They have been for days in oven,
But now the door has been opened.

2)Two days on, electricity was giddy.
Looking stern and steady.
'Sey, this nepa no go take am? '
A voice came from the duplex arm.
'Bcos, as dem dey leave im so, boya we no go use light sleep'.
The voice took many on a trip.

3)Close to a week
There was no blink.
Curious heart were shuuned,
For the electricity had their disbelief torn.
"Biola, go put food on cooker it's night".
Oops! , nepa has taken the light!

3)The ways of devil is archetype,
Loaning joy in diverse.
Swath you in lust,
Make your freedom did rust.
And when he gives for a while,
He takes all(even what he's not given)without leaving a dime.

Nigerian Nepa: Devil's depiction!

"Colours are once colour. White plus white remain white"
