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?
