Adrenaline, fans, anxiety, the perfectly cut turf, the excitement and the rush all come into mind when thinking about the Old Trafford, one of the most spectacular football stadiums on the planet I ever went to. it all starts with its beautiful design, its size and its  structure. When I first saw the stadium that host 60,000 fans. No one would ever understand the feeling I had when I entered unless he is a true football fan then he would understand what I am talking about. The first thing that I saw when I had entered the stadium was the majestic turf and the glorious structure of the stadium. Then I had noticed the fans as there was so many of them, they were mainly wearing the united jersey standing up chanting for there team all I can say that it was breathtaking to experience such an atmosphere. They had all looked the same they all had the look of anxiety and anticipation covering their faces as the game started the noise and chanting of the fans got louder and louder and it was just beautiful. The stadium was filled and the players started to enter you could see their face as they prepare to play the game against the opposing team it was just outstanding to be a part of all of this to stand side by side with people who understand your feelings towards your team. I will never forget the Old Trafford and the sights I have seen there, I keep those memories engraved in my mind till the next time.

It all started when I was sitting down sipping a cup of tea watching a documentary talking about tribes and their territories, as I was watching I remembered okonkwo in things fall apart and how he would be classified as a tribesman. I kept admiring and thinking about his character and eventually I wrote a poem about him that describes his life and his character as a whole. here is the poem that i wrote.

You think you know me

You think you've seen me

For I am a hero with my own might

And I am a savior in my own right

I was ruled by fame

And okonkwo I became

They say I'm a specialist

But In reality I'm nothing but a perfectionist

My father was weak

But here I am at my peek

Ruled by pride

As if it was my bride

The problem is everyone has pride

Its something you are born with deep inside

No matter what you do

It’s always going to be there in you

Perhaps I should've put my ego aside

Perhaps I should've swallowed my own pride

Let me tell you about myself

I’m a man full of himself

I’m here to dominate

Not here to debate

I was known in many villages

Portrayed in different images

I’m a man ready fight

To secure my right

No one dares to step in my way

Because they’re going to see a nasty display

I know that I killed that child

That’s why I got exiled

It was time to revisit the tribe

And let the people rail and gibe

Everyone surrendered

As if they weren’t tempered

I tried to attack

But no one covered my back

I tried and tried

To restore our pride

Everyone bailed

Therefore I failed

I became weak

Therefore I'm no longer unique.

I was known for my achievements

Getting  different treatments

But know I’m viewed as a disgrace

That doesn’t belong to this place

Why should I live?

If I’m not going to forgive
