Monsters In My Belly

Something fierce

Something strong

Rising in your belly

Struggling for attention

Something big

Unstoppable

Bubbling to the top

Like a ripe volcano 🌋

You try to drown it

With rivers of water 💦

But it refuses

This monster 👹cannot be tamed

It will take nothing

But mounds of fufu

Swallowed whole and live

Escorted by

Slim shredded vegetables

Immersed in spices of my Motherland

And fishes from our dear Niger
