BRING BACK OUR DORA
(Idieli Ajagun,2014)

Her Egg hit the rock
The rock scattered
Something happened to the rock
On the Africa's giant coaltared
Since Dora was born
Agulu reverberated in joy
The men envied the newborn
She was denied a toy
since she had a heart of greys
Yet she shorn in ambiance grace

Her path was unduly rough
Success quest made her tough
Born to be drowned
She could not be hanged
Varied miscreants frowned
On her uneasy portfolios fangs

She lays them bare
Issues of masses interest
She loves the word 'fair'
The peoples dearest
Walked away from health scares
Amidst real salty tears
