Like in the moon days,
Who will tell me,
The tales of myths,
Father or mother who will tell me?
About the beautiful culture
Of my land, my home'
Who will tell me'
My teacher or my brother?
Who will tell me about the leopard,
Who will sit me down at moon light
To tell the tale of the lion,
Who will tell me stories of morals,
Who will tell me how my forefathers
Fought a war and won,
Who will tell me how the peasant wore
The princess heart, with poetry and music?
Who will tell me, how or when the night
Turns day,
Who will tell me when that first
White man came,
Mother or father,
Who will tell me?
Okoemu Barnabas
