Oga, Chidi; 

I like this poem. It takes on the everydayness of simple pleasure and set it amid the pomposity and crudity of power in Nigeria—and the rottenness of everyday life. Such is the contradictions of the systolic and diastolic rhythms of life in Nigeria.  

In addition, the poem reads well; its cadence and rhythm work smoothly. It exudes something of the brisk morningness of the Nigerian sun wrapped in dews and mists, yet promising fire next hour. 

This is a good poem. It drops gently on the soul as the tropical dews, briskly walking the reader into sweet cascades of emotions along the walkways of memories and gentle appreciation of life spent away from the open sore of life in brutalized Nigeria. Thanks.

Dawn,

Drew drops,

Brisk walks,

Sweat cascades.

Walkways littered with slumbering

Victims of unscrupulous leadership,

Roads paved with potholes

And open stench oozing drainages.

Siren blares

Of pompous officialdom

Returning from all night carousing.
