Eroded By The City by Hidentity(m): 12:08am On Sep 29, 2014 |
From a noble home came this beauty Who took to the road so obscured and filthy The daughter of who you are you must remember That’s mother’s warning from January to December From papa’s pipe emerged the warning smoke The calabash she once broke earned her many strokes Encomium showered on her by several mouths For moments she gallantly did the village proud Now, Ashake set for the city adorned with light Shedding hot tears as she evacuated that cold night Will I see this same star standing next to the moon? I will definitely miss the river-way gist each noon She questioned in her mind with teary eyes As her luggage was attached to the wagon so tight The wagon zoomed towards the city of several miles May the gods be with you, the villagers chorused as they cried Ajegunle! The conductors chorused with their dark lips Exactly, the noise that woke her from her deep sleep Quickly, she reached for her luggage at the back And the village goodies-filled sack Time flies, nothing lasts till eternity She honourably made it to the varsity Amidst the big girls, mother’s words were set on fire And from the teachings of her father, she stupidly retired Like a coin, she was tossed from hand to hand It is her profession to get laid even by gang She sold to them products that shouldn’t be bought Night dealers, after her they firmly sought The wooden wagon is back again under the dark sky It conveyed someone devoid of life Gently, the wooden box was lowered to the underground home Inside it lays eternally the one-time epitome of beauty. 1 Like |
