I woke
up to a warrior
call – “Umu Enunwayoi”
the faint
chant of my
grandfather’s name – “Umu Enunwayoi”.
Yes, we
have deserted his
gods and now bend over
multiple folds
to the nemesis of the
many face gods of ilk
…and gratifications.
The enchanting
god of fame
without valour,
The all conquering
god of money
without work,
the zealously
jealous god of creed
without humanity,
we bow
to them, on all fours and
gather in their name.
We hold
kins meeting in
their muttering tongues.
I woke
up to a warrior
call – “Umu Enunwayoi”
the faint
chant of my
grandfather’s name – “Umu Enunwayoi”.
