In Gabriel Okara’s poem‚ “Piano and Drums”‚ Okara expresses his feelings and thoughts of a primitive society in contrast to a western society.

Geese This poem [Wild Geese] is an unusual poem. Instead of following the usual guidelines of a poem (ABABAB‚ AABBAA‚ Haiku‚ etc.) it deviates‚ to the point at which it loses the luster of a song and gains that of a statement. And even though such statement has no rhythm‚ nor explainable format‚ our brains are tricked into reading it with a softer voice‚ similar to the voice one spares for a child’s nursery rhymes.
