UMU CHUKWU
-Reginald .I. Chiekezi
Maybe it is their orient smile,
the resilient fur of their spirit,
the sturdiness they rock like rucksack;
maybe it is the ingenuity cast in their marrow,
their believe that God comes first;
maybe it is these that have given UMU CHUKWU
this subtle, sea-wise confidence
which Casca admire but
vainly skew as stiff-necked simile.
Maybe it is the communal pearl
bedecking their ant-rung rise;
the pollen they spread across arid outcrop;
maybe it is their webbed feet
ploughing earth’s ends in profound pursuit
as Jerusalem oil on Catholic mission
traverse worlds;
maybe it is the symphony of their dogged prosperity that vexed Brutus’ sword.
Whatever! Whatever the reason for rain of swords against them, every cut trigger their
flagship song: unwind zeal towards
robust success and self-dom –
which lives eternally in their Agu anatomy.
