Some call her Operkoh Broni <br />We know her as the Major <br />The lone female Warrior <br />Amongst seven pillars of rock <br />She stands tall and proud <br />Running to and fro <br />As she leads the warrior tribes <br />Down the Lokko Road <br />To pay homage to her Nubian folk <br />As the red and black flags fly <br />Amidst the beating of the Obonu drums <br />The lone warrior begins to dance <br />Amidst the firing of musketery and guns <br />The lone Major becomes a graceful Swan <br /> <br />(April 13 2014, Accra)<br /><br />Alvin Mingle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-warrior-queen/
