DO YOU REMEMBER?



Do you remember
The days we played without caution
Kicking the ball high and wide without restriction
The rain came and  made it more fun
As we slip and fall in turn

Do you remember
Those mad people that do walk through our street
njemiyookwuru, nwanyi na-agara onwe ya, papa lolo and his accompanying beat
Sad maybe but we enjoyed their passage.
Following them and laughing hysterically at their incoherent message

Do you remember
The India movie Sunita
I really can't remember now whether they married later
But I still recall the ill lucks of Viki
Some tears actually rolled down my cheeks out of pity

Do you remember
The day Nigeria won Brazil
The 3-1 to 3-4 score didn't appear very real
Kanu Nwankwo was simply fantastic
And Jay Jay was to some extent majestic

Do you remember
Or have you forgotten?
The day main market Onitsha got burnt
Many traders rushed to market to save what was left
Many returned home crying that all was gone.

The economy is now burning
I wonder what many will be screaming

  1. My dear it seems then should really be the best moment of enjoying tears than NOW. I mean the remaining 2 last paragraph.
    Don't you think so?

    That's for bad news that won't go away.

    The best part is how 3-1 turned to 3-4. Seemed like turning water to wine(saving the best for last)!
