That Child Poem by Tony Adah

Igbatlelibi is the child
The world loves to hate
At one time he is a goat
And at another time he is a god
This is where the world laughs at him
When he plays big
And the world laughs spelling
This name backwards and seeing
That he is a mere dog.
That child the birth of whom is known
He came with his legs first
And he thinks with them often than
He does with his head
The difference of which is wisdom
To him and laughter to the world
He came with his legs first
He walks before he thinks
Direction less so he remains a
Bleating goat and a resounding god
And a barking dog.
