ACHEBE FORESAW IT ALL
They say a stitch in time saves nine,
So what glitch blinds and beclouds mine,
For I've written Baa so long a letter,
Yet, no nest nor barn for my tether.

A bird in hand's worth ten in the bush,
Sadly the wind without invite grants its wings a push,
And it danced to its orchestration feeling no longer at ease,
Nor intending to ever again visit the Savannah's Anthills.

How can the beautiful ones be born?
When the ugly ones have refused to die despite the torn!
Especially when a man for all season has become
The khakiGbada Trouble with Nigeria!!
With cooking gas at #1,300 per kg,
And our uncommiserated unconsumed sacrifice of bills to the gods of Kanji
Tell me sincerely, how can the center hold without grudge?
As Things Keep Falling Apart, we pray they Purge,
Not just their gut, but porch
That our stomach their scorch
May contend, before our crotch too be patched.

May our lullaby not be There Was A Country
... for this is reasoning
