In Praise of Ben Jossy

I know of a great man from Benue; A wonderful string beholder of now, Whose smile calm the storm of life. His laughter echoes and sound in joy. Once on the keys of a weak keyboard, It comes back to life with a dancing feet. . . I know a great man of music from Idoma, Whose eyes is the stars of a feeble souls. He write friendship on his pretty palms, His voice is the sound of the nightingale. A man of great inspiration birthed in peace; Peace of soul mingling with love and life. . . I know of a teacher and lover of the word, Whose insight is the moon of the spirit... He walks like the dove of the ancient joy, Working with a perfection of the revelation. He is cute and eye, drifting with dreams, In his heart is the template of a humble home. . . I have seen through his eyes a butterfly, I have witnessed a calmness of my soul through the spoken of his words to me. A mediator, and wonderful comforter, I know of a giant camera man in Nigeria, Second to none I know in Africa. . . Posterity has written his name in the book of history that he is here to impact to all. His lips are armed with sweet words and hope, Modernity is the coven of his royal muse. I know of a great man of great music.... He is pregnant with goodness and kindness. . . (C) John Chizoba Vincent
