Oh Ariyike, You’ve made me a fool A laughing stock to all An example for those who dare tread that path Even after bringing down the heavens for you You went with the sands The ocean I brought to your doorstep You became wet when little rain poured Your legs vibrated and synced as it came hard your feet closed up and the neighbors heard Oh they heard! Thinking I was planting for the next harvest I was greeted with heads shaking and little hisses You laid it all at the market square. The leaves came down. Your buttocks to the world. My dignity in the mud. So did Akala. Oh Ariyike #nigerianwriter #nigerianpoet #love #yqdidi #yqtales
