The voice of my ancestors
The voice of my ancestors
The genesis of mankind never exclude my forefathers
Cos they were the beginning from the beginning
So i am never alone in this cold world
The connection between me and my ancestors
Are deeper than words
It is till infinity
The Bond never ends
My ancestral possessions are eternal within my circle
So I give all praises to my forefathers
I give Gratitude to my mother's descendants
Thanks to those who paved the ways leading
To my existence today
I appreciate the powers before me
I adore the vibes and frequencies of my ancestors
before my time now
I carry the same frequency like my forefathers
Who would have been my shield and protector
If not my forefathers
On whose land would have been my soil
If not for that of my ancestors foot print
On whose knowledge and wisdom
Should I abide by
On whose culture and traditions
Should I live with
On whose teaching should I maintain my dignity
If not for that of my forefathers
With whose education should I grow with
So I need no permission to give thanks
to the higher ones
The spirituality before my existence
The supreme before the strangers and hunters
The wars before my battles
The creators before my time
The ones who never leave me alone till date
I am the existing sample of the
Past present and the future of an Igbo man alive
Yes truly now
i am the living ancestors of my kind
So take a close look or listen attentively
Is clear to the blind
And obvious to the deaf that I am
The voice of my ancestors
