THE FALL OF JERICHO

 

Her beauty dazzles like the sun,
Her skin glows and grows,
Beauty deeply rooted in the skin,
Her smile a seductive trick.

Though her nkiruka has fallen,
Fallen like the walls of jericho,
But her azuka is soft like bread,
Many a man has visited her shrine.

She\'s a cheerful giver,
Who gives and takes,
A skillful hookpian,
Who hustle to survive.

Nail her not to the cross,
Maybe a victim of circumstances, 
Things are hard, and she wants it hard,
Many are caught in the web.
