IJEOMA

Ijeoma is the wishes of everybody

Not to be sleight under cunning

Craftiness of manmade factor

Or natural inferno

The desire of men under the sun

To breed to stay not to be burnt by fire

Nor beaten by rain

Ijeoma is not wanton want

Of those that race carelessly

Nor desire muddle materials

Or for those that embark on mission

Without a vision

Having no desire for life good

Ruled by principally of raffish

Razzle-dazzle of exotic wishes

Voyeuristic interest

Full of flimsy flinch façade

Is not for elaborated Ijeoma

Nor it calumniated arrogance

That crawls under broad daylight

Shamelessly thought to be saviour

Ojukwu might kill man

While bragging with Ngwu

On his side Ijeoma is not

But for Ijeoma they’re well out of it
