Nsukka of whom Chimamanda writes
Nsukka
home of the fearless writers
nsukka
home of the Igwebuike Onahs
Azikiwes
the Achebes
the Adichies,
painters of life with words
the Anatsuis
painters of life with wood and detritus
home of the foremost citadel of knowledge
alma mater to the fearless lions
grazers on grasses of knowledge
Nsukka of soft green hills
now home also
to putrid crumbs
jumbles of our individual essence
vast mess
bits and pieces of our essence
laid out like
beaches of
despicable sight
oozing out rivers of stench
turn and stear the stomach
war with guts of our organs
