Ogbonna Nwuke

Odimegwu Onwumere

Hero-worship!

Ogbonna has exhibited heroism

emitting from a humane heart

with talk and behaviour

too brave, too stoical

during the Amaechi’s situation.



Ogbonna grows, sells and uses courage

like herbalist uses HERBS

for medical purposes, for revival of lives.



Ogbonna completed the Herculean task

by challenging the autocratic powers

that was cooked and dished out from Otta,

just like from the Greek myth

in which Hercules proved

his courage and strength

by completing twelve very difficult tasks.



Ogbonna, faithful supporter of the dogged Amaechi,

was hepatitis in the liver of injustice;

but from this hermitage,

can the hermit’s voice be heard?
