30 Days Of Poetry, Day19 "Garri" Pics Inside by lyricalpontiff(m): 7:10pm On Jun 19, 2015 |
Home away from home I try to be a roman in Rome Deep within my stomach, it kills Consuming unfamiliar meals To keep body system in function I wish my Naija was the next junction But it's a light year away from me And I'm in a place I always dream to be Here hospitality is friendly yet strange Cuisines at variance with home, change I have a lot for my stomach to carry But none can equal my beloved garri You don't know what you have until it's gone With't garri how can I survive under the sun? It sustained me from infancy to adulthood Now my intestines riot because of oyibo food I'm an Ikwerre boy,I don't have time to form Give me garri whether solid or liquid form Take your fries ,salad,noodles,or chicken I envy d 160million hosting garri in kitchens Then the choir in my embattled stomach sang Give us egusi,okro,oha,obono or afang Garri conveys them down the bumpy road Now the bowels are now set to explode Then I woke up,it was just a dream A very bad one,but I didn't scream I blame it on the hunger before the siesta In my fridge I have shawamma & tasty fiesta Whenever hunger infects me with long throat GARRI is always my antidote...
