Pls Nls Analyze This Poem For Me Pls ....... I Need Your Help ..... Thanks by candor4(f): 5:02pm On Jul 20, 2014 |
Child: Grandma, nnenne, Why do you jeer and sniff Like an aged boa Watching the escapades of her young? Grandma: memories of my youth. Child; Memories, over flowing; memories surging Like a strong wave And I recall my strength, child. Long before they came, We were there Drumming our drums, Telling folklores to our young ones, Milking our cows and Trimming our shrubs and trees. Long before they came, We were there in the fields Teaching our hands to be Kind to the earth- Mother of fertility - To raise her layers with ease Our hands mastered all crafts Long before they came, We were there Each drum rained its rhythms Hips and muscled chests vibrated Silently but vigorously As the moon smiled at night And The stars glowed their bright teeth. Each folklore wooed the moon; She beamed her rounded Lips. Revealing cheeky smiles; Her smiles pierced Through our shelter, Our tall, huge udara tree. Long before they came, We were there - Then they came And muffled our dreams; Scorned our tales And spared not our cows; They castrated our trees And made our earth To stagger With mining and drilling; Yet they perceived nothing, They felt nothing! Pls analyze this poem for me |
