THIS IS ABA

This is Aba
The Elephant city
A city married to commerce
Conceived and birth in confusion

If you must walk here, don't stumble or fall
If you decide to run
Don't get weary and faint
If you have strength to fly
Remain up in the sky
Don't ever contemplate to land

This place is a jungle without woods
Everyone is awaiting to outsmart the other
To eat and devour their carcass
In this land, boys are not smiling

I tell you, no joy
If you don't have money here,
Just hide your face
Your degree means nothing here
Until it's translated to cash

Where two or three are gathered
A market is establish .
We sale the un-salable without warranty or guaranty
When you get home
Ascertain the genuinety of the item bought

This is Aba
Don't be silent here
They'll think you're dumb
Keep talking even if you're not making sense
Everyone is doing same
Don't be sane here
It will work to your disadvantage
Everyone here is insane, but neatly dressed

This is aba
We prefer keke and min bus to taxis and uber
We prefer sky rising buildings to bungalows and flats
We prefer POS than queuing up in banks
We're constantly on the move

This is Aba
Just mind yourself whenever you come here
