1)	Megalomaniac charlatan, lost in destruction, finding the path, the touch,
the miracle...

 Blood, blood puddles everywhere
like after a demonic storm of rain, but instead it’s human red liquid .

We snapped memories into photobook
Watching the edges of songful hedges
Draw  a hopeful singlet of grace of

But unknowing,...

Breaking it loose from the toughness
Moving the mountainous stones not slipping trough the rocks
Walking a thorny road barefooted and  ignoring the bleeding pain

When Chinua Achebe presented you,
we all marvelled at his powerful gut,
we saw an elephant among mortal men;
he planted an iroko tree in our minds,
he made us see through your eyelid.
