A dual dedication to my three weeks old nephew,'SOMTOCHUKWU' and my father; who finds another existence in him...
Arise and sin no more
Arise and sing once more
Open wide your palm
Receive thee my psalm
Without number or realm
'Our son and husband has gone mad'
'Without a grave he lies'
'Garlands of anguish'
Predictions from the past
Actions of ghast
As i write on tablets of stone
Your epitaph mirrors withered flower
A the river Niger flows backward
'Nwagene' runs without water
As Eagles shed their feathers
Vultures take the crown of flight
As weed over grows the tomb
Snow turns to charcoal
Awake!
Make your bed as you want
Die and live once more
Live and die once more

REINCARNATED
Arise from the deadArise and sin no more
Arise and sing once more
Open wide your palm
Receive thee my psalm
Without number or realm
'Our son and husband has gone mad'
'Without a grave he lies'
'Garlands of anguish'
Predictions from the past
Actions of ghast
As i write on tablets of stone
Your epitaph mirrors withered flower
A the river Niger flows backward
'Nwagene' runs without water
As Eagles shed their feathers
Vultures take the crown of flight
As weed over grows the tomb
Snow turns to charcoal
Awake!
Make your bed as you want
Die and live once more
Live and die once more
