Poem
In 1934,
The Big Drum of goodwill
Reeled out pleasant rhythms
To the people of the City of Aluu.
Unto us, a child is given;
Unto us, a warrior is born.
Not to interlock hands and arms
With girating feet holding grounds
In the Ikwerre Wrestling Matches
But born to spill the African ink
On the creeks of Rivers State
Down to the Mediterranean Sea
Of the Colonial Masters
To retell our beautiful stories,
Not as monkeys jumping from tree to tree
But as humans blessed with crude melanin,
Rich in cultured culture of morality.
Indeed! He retold our stories,
Painted great masterpieces 
On the canvas of their karfa.
He sold and retailed our tales in the Stock Market
At an expensive price that their pockets respected.

Even though his anticidence 
Was a coincidence of incidence
That made him a fish on the beach
But glory be to Chokike
Who molded his paths with wisdom 
To discover the pipes of inks
Flowing stories so legendary in him.

As I play pun of his pen product,
Just come to the know that
There is no penny of penitence
When the Concubine fight over the Great Pond.
But when the Sun sets in Biafra,
Isiburu will gladly sip some PepperSoup
Escorted with fresh palm wine
At the Roadside as he watches
The Dancer of Johannesburg
Dance the dance of the Slave
Taught by the Woman of Calabar
To express the Ethics of Nigerian Culture
On the vibrating waist of an African woman
Beaded with rainbow beads of beauty
Singing and Speaking the spoken word poetry
Of her raw, crude, uncut tale of her beauty.
But When God Came,
Isiburu was not ready.

He existed not, he lived.
His words lives on in our hearts, he lived.
He cannot be late coz he lived.
His memories living in our minds, coz he lived.
This is just my splash of colours of words
On the canvas of your minds
To a man who refused to exist but lived.
He is no other than the legendary 
Captain of the Pen,
Capt. Dr., Elechi Amadi,
I'm just your poetic son, 2'WYTH.
