right isn’t light

When the wrong has the light and
blind is the sight

When the wrong is celebrated, and
the right is castrated

When the wrong is “goal” and
the right is “offside.”

Once I knew only darkness
My life was without past or future

fingers of another,
fingers of another,
Fell into my hands that clutched
at emptiness,
at emptiness,
And my heart leaped to the rapture
of happiness.

I also knew that right words often
brought hope,

When you read or hear the right
words

It fills your empty soul like
pounded Yam and Egusi soup.

May you read the right words for

May we read the right words for
