Igbo people

South Central and South Eastern

many subsistence farmers they

worship Ala their earth goddess

some twenty million pay

respect to their ancestors

into sublimity

kinship groups

rainforest souls

wanting to be free

men grow Yams and Cassava

and Taro yes all three

a changelessness apparent

sanctified they be

divination and oracles

some fifty years ago

a brutal war was raging

Many of you know

Many murdered many starved

Biafra sleeps a while

the people are revolting

they are really off  the dial
