USA Africa Dialogue Series - Seven Decades And Six (Poem for Wole Soyinka)

The youngster
Of yester years,
The wordsmith
Who hung
And hangs the pen
Like hundred guns
To hunt down hocus-pocus,
Devotee of ogun
Who dotes on beautiful women
And wine,
Dappled now
With silvery hirsute,
Sit atop stool
Of seven decades
And six.

By Chidi Anthony Opara
