I’m a cultural being running
With multi-faceted splashes
Of soul and nativity
Voice above the Kilimanjaro
Heard as low as Mbiama
Known from Ugep to Calabar
Agbor to Asaba
Borokiri to Mile One
Agbowo to Bodija
I’m made from shades of tradition
Nurtured at the city square of Abule-egba
Raised by a thousand mothers
I am the sound from Ilu-bata
The rhythm from Owigri
I am what tourists seek in Argungu
I am the outstretched hills of Enugu and Ibadan
Bedrocks of creative enclaves
Connecting all borders
I am words uttered in penned lines
I am poetry
Baked with Tradition
