Jude Chukwuemeka Muoneke
Poet's note: This is a socio-religious poem. It's satires the nature of man to gratify his fleshy desires that goes with drunkenness and sexual immorality. The poem crafts out a drinking intervan like a church gathering where people come to worship their God. This worship is not really a religious worship but a social worship of drinking and smoking with slay queens as song singers.
