A Dirge For Dimgba Igwe
The rooster dares to crow
as the reaper reaps and sows
tender souls of human life
upon this earth full of strife
Before the breaking of dawn
when void shadows lie to fawn
a righteous seed will stand a price
denying this cock from crowing thrice
The sick sickle that reaps this seed
shall live before our Sun to bleed
as spored seeds do solemnly fall
awaiting the suns righteous call
Though these words may hit and run
leaving a mangled poetry as fun
the Sun approaches vengeful and bright
bringing all our hidden works to open light
Adieu Dimgba Igwe our voiced seed
your bloods wailing call, angels shall heed
