** Give me back my Community where I had no refrigerator/freezer yet drink cold water from clay pots. Give me back my community where I wake early to sit by fire place in cold seasons Give me back my community where I play till midnight and still have my bath outside without been afraid. Give me back my community where I can visit any of my relatives/kinsman without fear of being poisoned. Give me back my community where I had no TV yet never lacked stories via tales from grandpa and grandma Give me back my community where I can travel home any time without fear of being kidnapped/killed. Give me back my community where a brother after peeling his own cassava helps his neighbor out. Give me back my community where I had no light at night but the moon Neva failed to show me the way Give me back my community where I had no car yet never got envious of my neighbor's and he never failed to give me a lift Give me back my community where there was no park, spar or tourist center to visit on Easter/Christmas yet I move from house to house eating, drinking and still get much money Give me back my community where I saw no daily police patrol yet my community was extremely peaceful Give me back my community where I had no phone yet never failed to communicate my friends Give me back my community where there were few pastors yet members received prayers without paying for them. My Community my community!! O My Community!!! I miss my Community Give me back my Community - Emperor Daniel C. Asomeji. May 2019
