The beauty of the African moonlight play had been lost by the advent and sophistication of modern life. We remember the sanctity and the fun of African heritage and culture which we enjoyed in our days as infants and young adults. When we gathered those days, it was story-telling session, it was dancing competition, it was learning time under the African innocent and sacred moonlight. Now, civilization and westernization have strangled and swallowed up the cores and values that made our black heritage unique and outstanding among other cultures, but there are remnants that are still upholding these cores and values in our time.
This book is reminiscing our days when we danced, played and learned under the moon. Those days were talent-hunting days contrasted with the hustle-razzle and razzmatazz of today noisy and depraved world. This piece is a combination of stories and poems on love that will liven up your love life. We will learn how the great can be deceived by things or creatures that are despised, we will learn how the elites look down upon the downtrodden and the poor today and how God can exalt them tomorrow, we will also learn that love is not mechanical, artificial, or class-driven; it just happens between two people when there’s an emotional connectivity between them from the stories. The poems below are a few of the poems you’ll enjoy in our moonlight:
Mary, Strike your Guitar
My Mary is the princess among the virgins
Heaven embellished her blood with folklores
A living compendium and encyclopedia of arts
Mary, Mary, Mary are you a goddess
In human tabernacle? Shall we worship you
Before we start the dancing tonight?
‘Don’t worship me I’m as human as everyone else
But the difference is that the cable of grace
Passed through my vein at conception morning
Just like it did Joseph and Josephine
We know we are talented but strike
Your guitar and play your saxophone
Your tunes and melody are like
None other in this planet and region
Will I start with folklores or with my dancing
Steps and skills this evening?’
‘Mary, Mary, Mary, give us your ever-green stories
And folklores before your scintillating steps.’
Sun In The Moonlight
The bluebirds are coming
With their dancing shoes
And their trumpets are blaring
The village square has been swept
By the howling whirlwind
Of the merciless and merciful harmattan
The palm fronds and pawpaw vegetation
Are swaying and bowing, but I don’t know
Whether Ngozi, Nkiru and Nneka will come
For the moonlight pa
