TELL FLORA SHAW
Tell Flora Shaw, that the child she named is now a 56year old woman yet she has refused to walk but crawls on her stomach and sores her skin ** Tell Flora Shaw, that this child is ashamed of her root of the ruins of her land of the corruption of her children and of the tears of the youths ** Tell Flora Shaw, that she god-mothered a child who has lost her way she wallows in an ocean of uncertainty and confusion swinging to and fro as a see-saw Irregular in her dealings ** Tell Flora Shaw, that we live a chained independent life that the youths have been relegated to the backgound that education is no longer a means to a good life and graduates trek the streets with envelopes moist with sweat tell her, that the youths have packed their emigration bags and just like they thought the black skin is now a plague that scorns us ** Tell Flora Shaw, That the man who led our forefathers has come again he's on the street begging for our loyalty and just like the first time we swore him in again and he has so soon forgotten us tell her, that our leaders are liars and once again they played on our intelligence ** Tell Flora Shaw that I saw Fela in my dreams last night holding up a placard that read "sorrow,tears and blood" tell her, that E GO BETTER is now our national anthem that the rich eat their bread alone; yet covets the crumbs of the poor and walk around with pot of greed as stomach ** Tell Flora Shaw, tell her, that yesterday Ogbuefi went to the market but came back empty handed because the 200 currency that got him a land can no longer buy a cup of garri Today he is lying on his bed breathless and foaming in his mouth an otapiapia lying close to him he too has left us in this struggle just like the others ** Tell Flora Shaw. @annie_poetic Diary of a deranged poetess
