Analysis of Smilling bird
Ozor Emmanuel 2004 (Lagos)
Ninety_sixty was heroic
I have sat lonely needly deeply
Till the flood
Tastes like blood
Did I hear the bird singing?
That must be the nighting hale
The cage had been a camou flaged nest
The blue sky smilling and singing
The bird now cliam the sky his place
"Dear lord",he calls daalu"e
Ninety_sixty led the bloodless war
Now,I towered above in the sky
My freedom was why he fought
Before Her Royal Majesty closed her eyes.
