OKORO

This section tells the stories of ordinary men

Who no one knows but someone knows…..

“OKORO”

Here comes Okoro

With a back concave as a sickle

and a sack trapped

at the back of his cycle.

He wraps his hoe like his life depends on a nickel,

The weeds must not prevail over his precious corn

Farmed in the land that he was born

Though he had no son

And his neighbours laughed him to scorn

He won’t run

For the moon was gone

Morn will turn noon,

His hands will soon bear the horn

And unto their mourn,

His loin will be as the horn of a unicorn

Hope you enjoy reading:
