Still With The Kitchen Utensils
Friday Osato Ogbewi 1974 (Edo state)
Still With The Kitchen Utensils
I began this task from Adam
This task which I inherited
With the honour of pride
Who taught me this task
Elude me without knowing it
This inherited task
Draggling me closer to it's passion.
The zeal to stay animate
The fervor to look good
The passion to see tomorrow
Keep me struggling in an endless pursuit.
It is like acquire and be unable unable to find
Sipping and emitting
What do we really gain
When we work profusely
For what we cannot really hold.
