"I am from"
by Ebubechukwu Nwoke '21
I am
From pounded yam to jelof rice
From the sound of cheering from the crowd
From a world where focus is like a diamond
I am
From football and baseball
From Ohio, a state that chose the future president
From Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey
I am
From Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea
From Wayne Rooney and John Terry
From a world where “football” is always on mind
I am
From two seasons, rainy and dry
From Green and White
From Housa, Ibo, and Yuroba
I am
From “The Gold Mountain”
From Lazy Boys and Wii Us
From making imagination come true
I am
From London Bridge and winning everything
From British accents and having freedom
From allies with ex-enemies
I am
From 3 Countries
From Nigeria, England, and the United States
From pounded yam to jelof rice
From the sound of cheering from the crowd
From a world where focus is like a diamond
I am
From football and baseball
From Ohio, a state that chose the future president
From Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey
I am
From Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea
From Wayne Rooney and John Terry
From a world where “football” is always on mind
I am
From two seasons, rainy and dry
From Green and White
From Housa, Ibo, and Yuroba
I am
From “The Gold Mountain”
From Lazy Boys and Wii Us
From making imagination come true
I am
From London Bridge and winning everything
From British accents and having freedom
From allies with ex-enemies
I am
From 3 Countries
From Nigeria, England, and the United States
