Ode to Leone Stars – A Poem By Ella Llewelyn Jones
Leone Stars
Stars in our eyes.
Our hearts a beating Limba drum
Our eyes glued in anticipation
We watch them kicking up a storm
On the football pitch
Awaiting that jubilation…

Leone Stars
Stars in our eyes.
Our hearts a beating Limba drum
Our eyes glued in anticipation
We watch them kicking up a storm
On the football pitch
Awaiting that jubilation…
Our resilience
Shone through in the Hut tax war
Defeating oppression
Our valance
Came out conquering our conqueror
Resistance
is the current streaming in our Rivers
Our tribes
enchanted by ancestral mystical powers
The Lion’s Salvation
