A Soyinka Version of Modern Shakespeare

My father uncovered my talent quite early 
And he put his holy curiosity and divine inspiration to work.Upon my arrival from school on a sunny day, putting his palms on the window pane,he commented "You re wole Soyinka.Dont go to science class". Apparently the comments came in handy as junior secondary school in succession bade cheerio into senior secondary school and it was fitting already nature of my design cannot be overturned and so I did choose the arts .I could not feign ignorance of his consciousness and sometimes when I recalled this climax of childhood memoirs it was as if my brook of nature was born to be solidified by the glorious moment once in the lifetime of every fortunate child .Jaws dropped in my silhouette and visages humbled as if fallen on the canvas shuffled like golden star through this wood of discretion as the hands of hunting birds diffused by a nebula of undimmed light.
Then another power of poetry and prose emerged and then new but Shakespearean version of wole Soyinka was born.Bravo!Then great relocation into Lagos fueled the golden thirst and the hunting grounds of beautiful anecdote of the truest Shakespearean sonneteer and modern Shakespeare of Africa and the world.
