The great rivers
Yewande Akinse

I come from a place of two great rivers

I am a native of flow and confluence

from a rich land of farmers and miners

of great wealth, of culture and influence

birthed in waters of tribal divergence

what is a place if not a work of art

a conservation of earth and of heart

what, if not sculptures of days bygone

spirit of its people and cities smart

so designed for generations to come
