Behold she leapt to her feet
Against the mango tree
She leaned
Weeping like a solitary weeper
Tears drizzly trickled down below the cheeks
Two hands crossed amidst the armpit
The horrible and awkward moment flushed in.
Ventriloquism on deep thought
...
Singing in her dialect
oh Chineke,
biko ịgbanwe nna m n'obi.
ka ya ịnabata onye m chọrọ.
ebo bụghị a mgbochi.
a hụrụ m ya n'anya
...
Her vicious tempered father.
The racial and ethnic discriminator.
"Ngozi, listen to me, ị nwere ike ghara ịlụ di na nwunye ya" he grinned
You can't marry a Yoruba man. Never!
Let the goat peers with goat
And sheep with sheep.
...
Holding on to his anger like grasping a hot coal
Throwing it her man.
Nay! Let my daughter be a forbidden fruit to you
My compound a forbidden kingdom
Stay far away!
Away you deserved her not.
Let amadioha strike your shadow whenever it display around her
..
She love him.
Akin, a witted hunky man.
The single flashing, throbbing moment.
She could see the corners of his eyes crinkling when starting at her
With him, all is hunky dory.
He tarry, life became miserable.
Father erased tribal discrimination
Hate cannot drive
out hate
Only love can do that.
Father father let us united.
