Chapter 1
I got it tonight
Am not surprised, I knew I might
It came in the mail
My one-way ticket out of hell
It only just confirmed my trail
Oh, I forgot, we got no mail here
Well my bag's packed
Resolve In place
Am leaving, leaving to run my race.
Liberation they say comes with a price
True as it may
Whatever the price I'll pay to rise
Freedom is earned in every generation
So I heard
Not so sure this involves my station
Because here no one is truly free
It comes with a price tag
So with a packed bag
Resolve in place
Am leaving, leaving to be free.
Ewa Agonyin was a way of life
Passed down through generations
So with resolve, I embraced my Ikoko
A scoop for a kobo
A kobo for a scoop
A life of endless toiling
Like church bells tolling
Yet I have a date
A date with Notre-Dame
So I packed my bag
With firm resolve in place
Am leaving, leaving to soar
Oh! I forgot they forbade from soaring
We dreamt of a better tomorrow
But we woke up to sorrow
Yet we hoping for a favorable morrow
I remember
Mrs.Njoku once said
He who goes a borrowing
Goes a sorrowing
Our tomorrow has been given out
Given out on a platter
So I decided am keeping this ticket
Keeping it for later
Letting go of my resolve
Unpacking my bags
Here is where home is
Notre dame can wait another day.
Agbantuvi
The stainless lid
Fledglings of the evil order
Like ticking time bombs
Your time calling is coming to an end
Because it is time and you can't stop us
Like fireflies, you can't put out 0ur lights
And We won't run from you anymore
Even in death, we will glow
Because you can't and you won't put out
Our lights
Please do remember to leave a comment and review as it will come in handy
Yours
STEPHEN MARGARET
