Come Back Home



Come Back Home
Come back home
Arewa
Oduduwa
Ndigbo
Sons and daughters
Long gone
In search of greener pastures
Without a feedback!

Come back home
When all is said
And done
And there’s no headway!

Come back home
Now you’re still
Hale and hearty
And our fertile land
Is lying fallow
Come back home!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is clarion call to sons and daughters who have travelled abroad for greener pastures but have not been able to make it in life. They are usually brought back home as liability when they have expended their youthfulness struggling to make it in life without success. Let them come back home, perhaps, their fate does not support stay abroad. Some have realized this and are now making it. My people would always say that if you don't know where you are going you should know where you are coming from.
