Card #5: Signature ft. Anita Baker

Anita Baker

Snowflakes in the air, there's

Carols everywhere

                   Anita Baker,

                   Christmas Time is Here

Dust settles on dry leaves.

Brown powder on every structure,

Dust, not snowflakes is the season’s signature.

It’s Nigeria, of course.

I’d like to paint you a picture.

Have you ever seen blood fleeing the face of a terrified man?

The whiteness left behind’s the door to December.

This is Nigeria, you’d recall.

As snowflakes tug frost,

The Harmattan hauls dust.

Both are reminders, something bigger than any of us is here,

And of the dreams we all share.

It’s one world, after all.

Eneh
