THE FREE WILL I WIELD

THE FREE WILL I WIELD

(For Helen of Amazing Pharmacy, Buea)

PART 1: FREEDOM

You are free

Free to stay, free to go

Free to speak, free to remain silent

Free to sing, free to dance

Free to do anything whatsoever

Anything you want to do

But just remember, anything you do must be amazing.

If today I decide to go to the Benue

And always without fear

My job is more than an advocacy

And that`s because I`m like Helen of Troy.

PART 2: PORTRAIT OF A QUEEN

You have painted a poetic rendition of mine by decree

You have rightly portrayed me as a Virgo

You say my eye shadow is salient

That my lipstick throws you into a trance

That my lock of hair is neatly gathered at the back like silver

But have you noticed that beneath this greenish dress and the overall that makes it two

The name of our pharmacy is Amazing?

Here too are hidden all my treasures from Dikume Balue

That`s why whatever I do here

I swear by Amazing Pharmacy

So if you come here to buy, don`t try any ploy.
