Ogonibird
(By Komene Famaa)Ogoni bird is black
Black black Ogonibird
Tucks black bill in
And lowers hooded eyes
To gaze down gleaming sheen
Of wing and plume
Exquisite
Ogonibird
Ogoni flower blooms black, black blossom
Root and shoot black
Shaft and petal black
Black flower- bed black
Black body of Ogoni black
Blacker than a black tulip black
Mortified
Ogoniflower
And the rain that rains in Ogoni
Rains black
Black acid on ocean back black
Black ash on fish net
Net fishing
Fish fled fish free sea
Black rain
On bent back husbandry
Hoe held high yield
Ogoni basket
Barren
Ogoni blood burns
Life force death force
Fire
Flares
Black earth black air black water
Black bird black bloom black bush black baby
Black black
All black
Fertile Ogoni
Fruitless
But the spirit lifts the people
And the people hope
