JOYFUL CRIES by Asiabaka Uzochukwu Emmanuel


9 months of pain is enough to cause eternal joy.
36 weeks of sleepless night is enough to birth the morning sun.
270 days of harbouring a visitor is a pass mark to be a good neighbour.
If this pain heralds joyful cries, are you willing to tread this path???

The crack of a hatched egg signals a new beginning.
The beginning of life which is priceless
Life is God's priceless gift to humanity
And how will humanity continue without procreation???

How can happiness substitute agony in a second
She who wailfully pushes the overdue visitor in her
Tears dripping her eyes like the falls of Erin Ijesha
Instantly leaps for joy as she hears the cry of the expected traveller...

We laugh, sing and dance as we hear its cries
If it cries not, we cry and mourn
We plead to God to bequeath us with the cries of a new life
It cries welcome joy and happiness in our heart...
