So I wrote this poem a while back, when the agitation for Biafra by Nnamdi Kanu was at its peak.
I'm not much of a poet though.


The story is told of
the birth of justice and freedom
and how the World watched
with envy and loathing
and sought to kill it before
even it began to live

Biafra was born free but
her people were in chains
held by war and pestilence
and famine and disease and hunger
the ones who orchestrated Biafra's woes
were the ones who had dined with her

In the end, Biafra succumbed
and died, and Africa with her
Her remaining people were
left to bemoan and mourn
True freedom and equality
had been lost forever

As the days passed
the lofty dreams and high hopes
of heroes past became
vanity and the aspirations
of a determined race came
to an end

These days, I hear the story
told of a rebirth
of the former glory days
and I wonder
would Biafra survive a
Second Death?

@SheWrites, your stories are tha bomb. Meanwhile, you're the one who wrote " razor tongue" , right?..

Touchmeder happy new year. Your story is still nice

I don land. nice story. I will soon start mine though

I thought Ulo was going to meet someone else other than Bode. I think it's time for her to leave Dennis. He doesn't love her.....much.
first question, how do you manage to create a story like this that can pull the strings of people's hearts.? I've always wanted to write a "reality " story. the best I've come up with is about serial killers and organised crime. both of which are rare in Nigeria

it would be most selfish of me not to leave a comment. You have a nice story,Madam.
I get many questions to ask .

Nice story. better than last year's. IMO, Brown Dino is not much of a baddass. I can't wait to see what would happen to uche and tonia. I still don't get it how Mr Brown lost his fortune by losing a key
someone, enlighten me

I dey vex. Bimbo no try at all. meanwhile someone should slap deji.

you're taking "scary" to a whole new level@ O.p

Audrey, I have to say. you have got a nice story here.

from your first hate, Miss.., I knew you were an introvert.
Sometimes, some people act rash and you can't say anything coz you want to be nice.. I know that feeling.
Anyways, nice "story", Miss.
