Daffodils on the Anthills



Daffodils on the Anthills

I see daffodils growing on the anthills
The anthills of umuokoroala
Umuokoroala in the heart and soul of Umuahia
Umuahia the haven of Abia
Abia the land of Eyimba
Eyimba the great who tramples on daffodils
For we no longer want the white aliens to dance on our roofs
And watch them fart on our heads in mockery of our ancestors.
