The South Meets The North Poem by Tony Adah

The undulating sahel frowns
At the scorching sun
And the southern sea beats the coast
In a thousand blows
Two rivers traverse the land and meet
At the confluence of lokoja.

There are voices of hunger
And voices of hate
Still the sun hits
And the tide rises
In unison to the melancholy
Of the the folks.

Take the ocean up to the north
Aleviate the sun
And turn melancholy into merriment
That is the country
We want t see
One ocean and a million living species.
