Muoneke, the spirit that creates
Chi of seven clans
Like Amadioha of Ideato
You conquered the death spirits.
Though sent on an exile
To learn the wits and foolishness
Of banza bakwe,
Their men drunk by power and religion.
Married to Ada Umeh
The only daughter of Umeh dynasty
His milky testes
Fell on fertile ova.
The blood battle of bloodline
Orchestrated by friendly foes
Fueled by the kindred spirits
Who fumes in anger of his exile.
Fate is cruel to Odogwu Nwoke
As death snatched his better half
Strong as a lion,
He smiles in pains.
Akokwa kindred spirits
Await his return from exile
To sit on the sleeping throne
And reign forever.

Jude Chukwuemeka Muoneke
