Your coming
A painful event
Leaving memory scars
Telling your time of existence
Markings on your back
Piercings way through your ears
Cries so loud
Calling to the other side
Looking to imaginery friends
Talking to thyself
Singing songs of thy departure
Elders paying tribute
Bowing to thy exit
Waiting for thy arrival
To depart again
A painful event
Leaving memory scars
Telling your time of existence
Markings on your back
Piercings way through your ears
Cries so loud
Calling to the other side
Looking to imaginery friends
Talking to thyself
Singing songs of thy departure
Elders paying tribute
Bowing to thy exit
Waiting for thy arrival
To depart again
This poem talks about an ancient child called "Abiku" in Nigeria culture, Yoruba culture to be precise which dies and comes back again.
