POETRY: A BIRD IN EXILE

WRITTEN BY BERNARD GABRIEL OKURUT

 

Here I am lonely bird,


Flying from tree to tree

With no place to call my own.

Here I am lonely star shining on

A moonless night.

ILU AJE (TOWN OF WITCHES): A TOWN IN OYO STATE

Here I am-dead river,

Flowing without end


Carrying nothing but dead remains!

Hear I stand,

Hopelessly in the middle of nowhere.

Am over fed with hunger,

Am over drunk with anger,

Forgotten, hated, and slandered.

 

They have turned

My victory song into a dirge,


And replaced the rhythm

With melancholy.

They no longer sing my praises

But talk ill of the good works

My hands have done!

 


Am a war hero, now forgotten.

They now talk ill of me as a villain,

They slander me.

And awaken anger.

In people’s hearts.

They have destroyed all my cities


And hold my family captive.

Now here I am lonely bird,

Flying from tree to tree,

With no place to rest my

Snow frozen feet.

 

Poem by

Bernard Gabriel Okurut
