TORTOISE BACK

Carry me

From your cracken back

Handle me with care queue me in your democracy

Were your back never touch earth.

Then I tighten my pant

With plantain skin

Don’t carry me

Instead I carry you on mine

With pride.

 You are my father for a reason

But why you rebel me?

In front of your grand children; twins

Niger and Benue

A boy and girl

 You are my father for a reason,

When I saw your face at the rock

And you are steering at me

With tears, down your chicks

And on earth it pours.

Carry me

On your cracken back

To her sick bed

Let me see her-my mother

To embrace to hear her

And drop my sticks

Even if the earth cracken

And swallow us all

We will say to our self

It a good-good flair.
