Chief, The Honourable Thief: A Poem by emeka94(m): 8:35pm On May 09, 2015 |
Honourable chief Honourable thief; The difference is clear But we do not care. Our brass band is ready And our wrappers are tidy. We shall tie it on our waist, Making sure the side with the honourable's face shows clearly, As we gyrate around the school field. The women group have learnt a new dance, Which Akwugo, with the whistle voice and waist without bones, shall lead. The men have bought new palm wine horns And our youths are ready with their placards and knifes sheathed in its animal leather pouch. Our son, the Honourable chief, is coming from Abuja And we shall welcome him in grand style. Last we saw of him was three years ago; When he cam with a trailer full of garri and foreign rice, A container of hollandice materials And a tanker of palm wine. Money flowed and flowed And we were all happy And less less hungry for six months after. We voted for him, the entire village did. But the rice finished in no time, My hollandis wrapper have since torn in multiple places And the honourable is somewhere in Abuja. "Mama George, Mama Agnes," I called on my friends. "Eeeh ya oooh," they answered "Hurry up with your wrappers. I can hear the sound of the Honourable's convoy. We mustn't miss his entrance," I shouted. "Eziokwu. Oya oya, let's go," mama Agnes replied excitedly. We hurried out into the main street Towards the primary school. The maracas tied on our feet, for dancing, making clanging noises like the chain of a prisoner, As we hurried to dance for the Honourable chief, Whom we know is a Honourable thief; But we shall thumb print for him. He is our son. |
