the want of \u00a0Independence<\/p>\n
was the wish of the Igbo<\/p>\n
stifled by the Yuruba<\/p>\n
great dissonance did grow<\/p>\n
Cacophonous \u00a0intention<\/p>\n
repulsed at every turn<\/p>\n
whoever dares to mention<\/p>\n
the historical \u00a0concern<\/p>\n
a secessionist state<\/p>\n
was wanted<\/p>\n
Biafra it be<\/p>\n
from 1967 until 1970<\/p>\n
what turned out to be a \u00a0ghastly<\/p>\n
Civil War<\/p>\n
more frightening than<\/p>\n
all the nightmares anywhere<\/p>\n
Conducted \u00a0without \u00a0 plan<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
it became a horrendous ordeal<\/p>\n
the Igbo suffered long<\/p>\n
the capturing of coastal oil<\/p>\n
a blockage \u00a0it was wrong<\/p>\n
mass starvation<\/p>\n
then ensued<\/p>\n
so many children died<\/p>\n
the Conservative Islamic \u00a0way<\/p>\n
It was a great divide<\/p>\n
the arts and crafts<\/p>\n
the music<\/p>\n
the \u201chighlife\u201d so to say<\/p>\n
the culture and the lifestyle<\/p>\n
so different \u00a0by the day<\/p>\n
language food and \u00a0belief \u00a0system<\/p>\n
ancestral philosophy<\/p>\n
The \u00a0core values<\/p>\n
fictitious too<\/p>\n
Apparently \u00a0an absurdity<\/p>\n
in how and what we do<\/p>\n
you can feel \u00a0the animosity<\/p>\n
its out there and its true<\/p>\n
Biafra lost so very much<\/p>\n
With sacrifice we do<\/p>\n
face an uncertain future<\/p>\n
from what was an awful coup.<\/p>\n
