Tensed Acknowledgement
TENSED ACKNOWLEDGEMNT
To mother, my photocopy
To mother's love so high
To her undying feelings
My image maker in the eve of
My waxing re-refinement
Things will never be left unsaid
Words will never be left untouched
But reasons be kept in my mind to love
She bred me in mountain to redefine the
Image of my root
Hear me mother, i cometh forth
In me lies faith and drive so
Pure to redirect light to shine
Among those black hearts that lives down the valley .
To father's brave spirit that materialized my image
My carbon copy, my second god
The smiles of my soul in the new moon
My heart of thanks rest not until
Those tears will be shade in my present for joy
I have brought from abroad
Hear me daddy. i curse not the day you
Welcomed me to your wonderful home
Like a rose, i will spring forth, erect
smile to the beautiful moon, look at the
Sun in the face for not in me was fear made
Not in me was hatred bred.
I cometh forth to redeem and bring light.
To sister, the bravest of all
When the circumstances was tensed
You stood firmly behind me in unity against
All odds to see me through.
Those funny stupid move of searching for the
Faded identity of which i was made
You recreate my being and gave me reasons to break
Forth the stories of unattained dreams
showered me love in hatred
here i come in peace.
To brother, the handsome of all
To his most intelligent moves
Am almost there Ugomsinachi
I am becoming a great novelist and poet.
Words unsaid hurt a lot in heart
The sky knows my worth, the moon smiles to ease my pains
The air, sun and grasses are never asleep.
As i have thought in recent years
I will be coming home
Coming for my dream wife to reign.
Say me well for i write not for the craving night
To see the day in this world of agony
To Madam Moses, i love, she bred the Hero in me
To MRs Esther, i deserve, she kissed awAy my pains
To mr Uche, he made the light
I forget not the erudite viewers and writers
Who cheered me always at the contest
Never get tired, i am coming for the prize
is not all alone.
