AKPO-YAN-EE; THE GREEN SOUP.
I was raised in the break room
What would you like for supper
Grew to be our spring of bloom
We danced to the moon and back
My belly refused to exit the room
It was a warm afternoon
Mama's pot filled with love
Scently chips and sweet pies
My neck stretched out with joy
The fun has just begun
My favorite food is the liquid dish
Made from boiling meats
Sweet seeds and fish
The savory scent lift my belief
Few greens to make the broth rich
The garlic danced in the pan
The onion sang its sizzling song
The pepper smiled on the plate
The dark leaves leaped into the bowl
The spices gave the dish a jolt of savour
The supernova of flavors in the soup
Will make your taste buds explode
All because of the rainbow broth
Bubbling on the stove
The fireworks in my soul
My clan grew from the south area
Where pumpkin leaves won the crown
We call it Ugu from our brother's corner
The delicious dose of dark
Delectable greens in our cooking area
The leaves crumbled beneath
The relentless blows
Of the mortar and pestle
Giving it a fluffy look
More like a wet biscuit
This soup is like a creamy green silk
You could feel the smooth gesture
As you eat from its reefs
Enjoy the sweet savour
Live from this break room of relief.
