A STORY

I could write a story;

A story of how i made it,

I could write a story;

A story of how i danced to the sound of the Bata.

I could write a story;

A story of how i survived my pain,

I could write a story;

A story of how the earth shook upon my existence.

I could write a story;

A story of how i smiled in pain

I could write a story;

A story of how the ocean flows in its mightiness.

I could write a story;

A story of how beautiful i became from sorrow

I could write a story;

A story of how the gold passed through the furnace

I could write a story;

A story of how after failure i passed

I could write a story;

Stories of how a river flows pass a barrier.

I could write a story;

A story of how abiku survived

I could write a story;

A story of how the sky shed tears.

I could write a story;

A story of how i became a warrior

I could write a story

A story of how oya became Sango’s favourite.

I could write a story;

A story of foolishness

I could write a story

A story of the tortoise and the other animals.

I could write a story;

A story of wisdom

I could write a story

A story of obatala.

  

Only if i could write a story;

I would write of a story of survival, patience, wisdom and how
fair life is.
