Ighodaro

By Omorodion Uwaifo

EDO, look as far as your eyes can see
Behold the pitch dark ahead of you
Austere and impenetrable, you stare
Ready to dare and push for progress.
Wait; the way is strewn with obstacles
Light, love, clubs, bows and arrows
Beacon on the way of achievement
Marks of bravery; epitaphs of the struggle.
