Gazing into a log fire,
He felt a strong desire,
To go to the church and wipe the entire vile,
Nwoye was not worth fighting for.
He cried his heart,
Why should he be cursed with such a son?
Nwoye abandoned their ancestors,
He felt a cold shudder.
He was not his son, he couldn’t be,
His wife had played him false,
But Nwoye resembled his father,
He pushed the thought out of his mind,
He sighed deeply.
Found poem, based on pages 152-153 from the novel "Things Fall Apart". Shows the inner struggle the character of Okonkwo undergoes.
wao!
