hand speaks,
through the discus throw
many speaks, with their mouths
but chioma speaks, with her hand
at birth, chioma, arrives with her hands rounded up
every elder, who came to see her,
said, chioma will speak with her hand
it was a riddle,
which left many wondering
but the saying begins to show promise,
when chioma holds a platelike metal and let go from her hand into a distance,
so far away,
an eye can barely follow
from then on,
chioma’s hand has been throwing,
the discus throw
and receiving medals, since
in maryland uni,
chioma bagged many wins
in charlottville, va,
all in the u. s. of a
she even went past,
a 34 year old record
through the discus throw
but in 2022, commonwealth games,
in uk,
chioma’s hand speaks so loudly, that
her discus throw,
brings to nigeria, a gold medal
with the nigerian flag, raised with both hands,
with her infectious smiles,
beamed from cheek to cheek,
at a first place,
with a dazzling throw
by the hand that speaks
anyone watching her,
smiles back with joy
whether,
a nigerian, an afrikan,
commonwealthian or
member of world comity of nations
everyone smiles back at her infectious smiles
and her infectious victory
chioma’s hand speaks
as the elders truly, once said
and her hand will speak with the discus throw
so her infectious smiles
and her infectious victory will
continue to put smiles on many faces of diverse nations
chioma’s hand speaks
and chioma’s hand will continue to speak
and many are joyful, that through the discus throw,
chioma’s hand speaks
