THANK YOU!!! – - Erhio Obodo POEM OF THE MONTH
So I joined the queue
Jumped on the canoe
And journeyed towards the new
A change in hue
Fresh brew
Waiting for that view
From out of the blue
A new avenue
I looked at you
Every one of you who knew
It had to be true
Was it new revenue?
I had no clue
But I could feel the joy all the way from Timbuktu
I watched as winds blew
Birds flew
Grass grew
I felt the morning dew
Smelt Iya Basira’s stew
And yearned for that breakthrough
Change long overdue
No more taboos
No more sad news
As earth activated; Renew
Smiling at you
I beckoned you to join the queue
Jump on the canoe
and wish me what I wish you
Erhio Obodo
