IN THE CITY OF THE SEATING PRESIDENT



 IN THE CITY OF THE SEATING PRESIDENT
Behold the deep but; un-drinkable river  
Colored, polluted with artificial dirt
Still, it’s the source of bath to some
They mind not the shit on the side and the awaiting disasters
The fearful spirogyra flown on the surface.

The homeland of fishing and plantain with agricultural inputs
Greener and fertilized land.
Still with costly or unbearable price tag
Kain- kain meant nothing but pleasure of the highest order
Meet a teen with number of kids though, with less care for

The home of ‘we own our things’.
Where every living must be free gift
A city where power outage for months is a norm.
Where education is by choice.
The land where middle class is a taboo
Feel the super rich or the super poor

Ethnicity is a priority, social life is a must but equity is a crime!
Oh, he home of the shoeless man!
Emeiha to Ogbia town
Kolo to Onuegbu
Emiringin to Elemele
Otuaba to Otuoke                                       aoadeleye77@yahoo.com 26/02/13
