Think Akwa Ibom! Poem of the Week: Single By Choice, By Esthy Gold Joe

Here I am
Female
Single My choice! 

Opportunities here
Opportunities there
To change my choice
To change my direction
My guns I stick to.

Not in a hurry
Never in a hurry
Just for the lure of status change
Jump into hot soups
I envy none
I copy none
I live my life
Single and happy.


When the chords are right
When the stars shine brighter
When the fruits are ripe
Harvest will be a given.


I am not on a shelf
Not to be picked by any
Not for highest bidders
Never for lowest bidders
I enjoy my status
Single and happy.


I hold the padlock
When the right keys appear
The door shall be open
And all shall see
When status changes!
