What a 'wonderful' poem you have there. It reminds me of Yambo Ouologuem Two Thousand Seasons and Ayi Kwei Armah' s The Beautiful Ones...The snipet you have here is 'good' enough. I thought I should dignify the poem by not reading the remaining poem. Such can only be penned by my compatriot, Chidi. You can only give what you have.
