THE CHIDINMA COAT OF MANY DARK COLORS .
Chidinma like Joseph with the coat of many Colors that his mama made for him with love, Provoked jealousy from his brothers ,
And rise up bile in them and sold into slavery .
She was sewn a coat of dark colors that her
Mama sewed for her with love but to escape
Immigration as to give her a better life.
While Joseph's coat was bright and shining,
Chidinma's coat was dark and heavy .
The brothers had no remorse for Joseph until
Farmine arrived and they met him now a King,
For twist of fate, stuffing their
Wares with foodstuff to stop them from hunger
And put them to shame and misery .
Like Chidinma was chased away from South Africa ,
Shamed , embarrassed from the dreams
She loved.
Now become the star of the
World made possible by her mother's land.
When Okonkwo in Things Fall Apart was
Banished from his father's land for k!lling
Someone, landed in his mother's land, a rich
Man, now a poor man for leaving all his
Wealth behind , his uncle said to him :
"A man's mother can never reject him.
Your mother is no more, but we are here for you.
Think not of what life has done to you, no one
Has it all in life, you will be fine ".
Chidinma was banished from South Africa
But now has it all and crowned a Queen
In the world , just like Joseph was crowned a
King in the foreign land of Egypt after being
Banished from his own father's land sold
As a slave by his own brothers.
Life is full of allegory , irony , twist and turn.
Chidinma, you shine like studded stars .
They tried to dim your light, but your
Enchanting and dazzling beauty is too bright
To hide .
Your laughter send them panicking.
Your smile ricochet like wavy waters and leave
Them confuse and angry .
When you walk , you set the world on fire .
Your charisma, poise , intellectuals and beauty,
Stronger than gilbrater's rock.
Your strength of purpose,
Your focus ,
Your unquenchable thirst for success,
And your refusal to back down and take NO
For an answer, is to be studied .
Those who must basked in the sunshine
Must be strong.
Your coat of many dark colors has now Become
A coat of many shiny colors just like Joseph.
Now , the world is your Oyester, adorn it
With pride.
You deserve it.
Though the h@te will become more intense
Now that you have won .
But keep moving, for those who look at
The sun, sees no shadow.
They are nothing but shadows before you .
Let them keep being delinquent on social Media - that's where they belong .
You are now a Queen.
Stay at the throne and laugh down on them.
A poem.......
