ÚDÁRÁ....
ÚDÁŔÁ
Údáŕá,
The African star apple
A star among fruits, yes, yes
In its sweetness
Unsimilar to the apple, yes, yes
An apple in the eyes of its owner
Its sweetness , like ecstasy
Sometimes sour-sweet, still tasty
A star in its right,
Seeds together shaped right
Like a star in an African sky at night
Údáŕá, fruit of the magic tree
Fruit of the spirit children
Údáŕá, fruit never plucked
Yet numerous enough to be sold in the markets
Údáŕá, fruit from a tree
A tree grown in an African soil
Údáŕá tree, a tree surrounded by stories
Legends, myths and mystical stories
Údáŕá tree, a tree grown in an African soil
An African soil situated in Nigeria
Údáŕá, a fruit grown in Nigeria
An African star not an apple
