The Local City my Friend Got Hiv Poem by Kolawole Emmanuel

The Local City my Friend Got Hiv



THE LOCAL CITY 'our friend has contacted HIV'

Chukudi: -

The 'good morning' sound,
- of the church bell,
'Waked me out of bed'
As darkness was fading away
- with gentle rain of dews. this morning

To see Adunni,
That local streat champion, :
In her new modern wears,
- dressed like the maidens
Of the old Yoruba kingdoms
With some comedic features

Behold, Kasimu, she turned around,
- and flip to the left and the right
- 'Chukudi how do i look? ' She said

So I clossed and opened my eyes,
- then took more perfect glance,
'Hmm! You look take away' i said

Then she turned and shake her body,
'See you again tomorrow'
- and she left the room.

I don't like little sense local girls like her,
- but my eyes are already there...

Kasimu: - what about Talatu, the local fulani girl?

Chukudi: - I will remember her latter,

Kasimu: Ahu! not every gift is collectable...

Chukudi: - Either collectable or not collectable, find me Agbo jedi so that i won't be Ole, when she is taking my services tomorrow.

Kasimu: - hmm, Chukudi, Chukudi, i warned you.

II

The place reflect a local bar, Kasimu and two men are standing talking as Chukudi rush in.

Chukudi: - Eh, eh, please help me, i am doomed.

Kasimu: - look Chukudi take it easy, what happen?

Chukudi: - I do it with that girl

Kasimu; - what?

Chukudi: - The thing, and after we've finished, sue told me that she has HIV, eh

Kasimu: - I warned you, so you have HIV now

Chukudi: - I don't know...

Kasimu: - Ehh! Announcement every body, our friend Chukudi has contacted HIV

People: - Ah run away from him, let us run so that we won't contact it.
