HEAVY TONGUE BY OIWONA ANDREW
Being an Art student in one of the best senior government senior secondary schools in lagos, Nigeria,I was opened to reading lots of poems and novels,and I must say HEAVY TONGUE is one of the best peoms I've ever read and each lines of the poem has been stuck in my head for Good 4 years.
SUMMARY:
Mr oiwana Andrew who was a chattered accountant and a stammerer ,wrote about the stigmatization that followers him as a stammerer especially in the hands of comedian who constantly makes jest of how he talks.He inherited stuttering from his father which made his mum aggressive for her gene was recessive.
But to Mr Oiwana Andrew never saw his way of speaking as a condition instead he saw it as an opportunity to write his first book "HEAVY TONGUE".
In his book he wrote about how he get mocked whenever he speaks in a gathering of people.
He also talked about how his mother had ten birth and 2 death but he was the only one who stammers among his siblings.
MY FAVORITE LINE
"He talks;they taunt and make him a clown without the reward of a crown"
I would recommend you add this poem to your home library.
Have a lovely weekend hiveans.
