Tell usA
How do we crack the riddleB
Dropped from the skyC
How do we hold the tearsD
Tossing endlesslyE
Like thousand rosariesF
Of rain on heatG

Tell usA
How do we pile up the criesH
Of kernel from same palm that was youI
That now weep we must weepJ
And mourn we must mournK

Tell usA
How do we tell the storyE
Of twinship padded in sorrowL
Closely knit by bloodM
Of same wombN
Of same learningO
Of same fameP
To bow outQ
At the season of sleepJ

Tell usA
Have you sojournedQ
To complete the logicR
Of tripartite unityQ
Of Christopher Lawrence and blessed PiusA
Like Father Son and Holy SpiritQ
Tell us have youI

Poet's note: This was a tribute I wrote back in year 2000 for my late uncle, Dr. Pius Okigbo, elder brother to the late renowned poet Christopher Okigbo. He was a great economic genius and a man of numerous accomplishments at the local, national and international levels. Was pleased to find this poem in a collection of tributes on his extraordinary life. I had lost the original manuscript and it was a delight to see this and thought it worthy to share it here and keep it permanently safe!
