Why are we not the authors
Of our stories
Why does the plot twist
Us
Relegates us
Because
Us us
Went Off course
Of course
Now cursed
Horse Horse
Purse paused
Puff puff
Cough cough
Silent bluffs
Fancy cuffs
Are still cuffs
curved us
Our Laws
Now was
Outlaws
In their wars
Man falls
God calls
Walls walls
Our loss
Us us
Passersby and standbys
We say bye
Cus we can't buy
Puppets and poor pets
They said
If we're up set
We might upset
Or offset
So they off set
Gift us handsets
Then reset
I
Hi
High
Why
Sigh
We're merely cast
Out of sight
Not in mind
Mind you
We're
Left to write
In term papers
And sound like them
is your name Abasiakan or Godwin
Abasiakan I sound like them
We're living their anthem
They make mockery of my mother tongue
That's another wrong
We've made right
Our accents
Are Godsent
Who are you to yust come and yudge me
The cradle slowly
Snuffed of it's candle
We're not superman
But there are things we do
that clark kent
So we Decrypt tonight
Never again
Listen,
this is salvation
For a nation born again
Before the ink
And whatsapp groups
We updated our status
Through plays In the village square
Circle back
We told tales by Moonlight
and ticked talks
By elders
Our values were our trophies
Our Arsenal, community shielded
Break free
These are not perfect words
Nor weak words
This is free dorm
Not OK word's
But KO'S
It's a new dawn
Has always been
Even before moon go park
Remember who you are and where you're from
You're not less
