TIME PAST.

Let's go back in time the days of our father;
When girls were shy and boys were timid,
Tales by moonlight, Roasted corns and Yams.
Beds were untouched & Love was real.

Let's go back in time the days of our mothers;
When baths were taken in rivers & drinks from the stream,
When Mama's logs dance to the tunes of Fire
& Iyan and Egusi with bush meat
Becomes ply the route to our bellies with palm wine.

Let's go back in time the days of the past
When education was sweet
& technology isn't a threat.
When huts were our homes - security at its peak.
When Fathers were farmers and hunters while mothers were traders.

Let's go back to the time left behind,
When cows were mere animals - peaceful co-existence.
When life's a volatile treasure & murdering a taboo!
When girls were safer even without a bra.

Let's go back to the days of our fore fathers,
When the world was in order &our land in peace.
Let's travel back in time
For memories are paradise
I would want to live In forever.
