Oprah The goddess "She"


The She~ the goddess “She”

In the cloudiness of the Western light
the spirit “She” unfolded
From the unexpected came the might
The might that men of centuries have dreamed
In the possibility of the probable
that stacked the odds she embattled to surmount
En-route it must be possible they mistook the Spirit Victor-Ludorum
for a Negro woman
It was the destined destination, aside for only “She”
Precluded from common opportunity corridors
Probative the lady-spirit that Oprah is “She”

Was there the possibility that she,
her destiny would find derailment?
The capriciously busy double tracks,
to mishaps disposing
demanding the upper echelon the footstool of Suma
Only the “She” the Spirit indomitable traverses
She the enchanting that does not self-seduce
She that brings disappointments to terminal end
in audacious judgment with ease;
To impound and adjudicate between the pro and cons
in the spans of wisdom,
that’s quick and potent
It is the destined destination
that must be attained for Oprah is “She”

What possibility along the trans of circumstances
had headed her to same destination?.
For there were tears,
only wherein instanced,
wherein men would have self-destructed,
popped and disposed
Prickly painful, but not imposed upon the Spirit She;
Not frail; not easily sponged to puffiness is “She”
Not gullible; to unsteady gaits,
easy she rebuffs,the forceful pushes,
The deluding persuasions
and the professor on derailment from destiny
 found; to his ensnarement at the cubits of disappointment
That, “the She” is the “Oprah of America” the She Spirit.

The excellence, enhanced,
while not comprehended,
became prevalent to primacy in deed.
In surging, the Spirit sparks
and the fire rekindles
to attain the height, the envisioned pinnacle
The queenly caput; the bandanna of excellence; the ring of gold.

In personality, the Spirit extends
a most capricious attraction that lures but not seduce
A face that provokes with beauty and innocence
and demeanor that impresses
but would not embrace
A Spirit that beckons all to self,
 but stands aloof
That’s it; too much Spirit
for any to hold, is “She”
A Spirit, mounts, ecstatically enjoining at distance,
proclaiming, “Love You, love me, Love you”, Love me
Thus the world embellishes with love,
for with love she attends, for Oprah is “She”

Bravo! my lady bravo!
Would that I could write, or
 sing thy Spirit to justice end
I would then,
have attained the pinnacle
where excellence thy Spirit captured
To copious charity,
I would my heart’s content sculpture
for Lady, “She”, the “Spirit of Excellence”.
In song and literary poverty, I must contend
and commit rather to spirit,
Bravo! Sister Bravo!
Thus, the world embellishes with love,
for with love she attends, for Oprah is “She”
Bravo! My Lady, bravo! bravo! bravo!

The Clansman’s Negro Heart


13). The Clansman’s Negro Heart

Bonnie died on Sunday, on surgery table,
where life depended on the steady hands and the razor-

On Tuesday Bonnie woke with heart that is new;
implanted with treads and needles, the frailty of life

By the week from Sunday that Bonnie died
he came into full life of Second-Chance

Bonnie could talk, swallow an egg,
experience complete material structures of his body
like the bully-bull, nothing amiss the bouncer was fine-

But how, to life again-
Bonnie could not conceive or comprehend-
Unconscious, the unaware Bonnie was,
to, the surgery table-

Finally, the flash beacons from within,
enduing him to grips with a miracle;
the miracle of Second Chance,
the blessing to only few-

Bonnie broke the ice
and querying the fact of his life-
Questioning, regarding the source,
source of, his life of Second Chance-

“Who was this Angle of Life? -
the original bearer of this gold?
upon whose death-
I, have received a Second Chance?”

To Bonnie the unimaginable,
the surprise of the differing kind
was, handed him; a picture,
by him that doctored his Second Chance

Bonnie went shortly comatose.
recovery timely,
Bonnie puckered, “What!
Mark! him I knew, very well, at work.”-

Red and pale faced was Bonnie as he asked
Plainly, in abject pain and sorrow he stammered
“what, what, what Happened?
 How did it happen?
Why, why, O! why~ that trailed into sub sobs”

And diamond shaped, the tears rolled
painful for, Bonnie’s state of health.
An accident took Mark’s life,
his heat lives on
to give life in Second Chance-

Bonnie mumbles the name of God.
A novelty in Second Chance
Bonnie sobbed a while; the wife asked;
“you, crying?” happy to be, was the expectation

It, it, it hurts so much; Not the heart but the man I am-
Mark, I had fired for no reason,
I fired him for no reason at all, 
but that he was Black, he was black-

Mark, I hated, a Blackman working
and earning as much as I;
that was too much to bear.
That to me was not right-

I was the man-perfect
Mark, I hated for his guts, smartness and spirit;
those challenged the man I am
Mark was a textbook candidate of Clansman, hate.

I resented everything about him,
the sight of him made me angry
that I was often hurting, and crying inside-

The worst thing still;
I hated the sight of him smiling
Smiling a greeting as if I was his friend-

It was most painful knowing that he knew,
that, I hated him
yet he dismissed me
my treats as he dismissed me.

To fire him, I could not find grounds;
for Mark worked so hard and so professionally
Mark, I hated for his guts, smartness and spirit;
Shaking his head-
Mark was a textbook candidate of Clansman, hate-

As a Clansman would say,
Nigger he is; and that is reason enough,
to fire him; and so, I did
I fired Mark for no reason,
no reason at all-

just that he was a smart Blackman,
he was black
Bonnie broke down and sobbed
as if rejecting the New Heart from Blackman Mark-

He recovered from the painful mortification
The shackle in, of penitential pain and remorse  
The pain that washed away his hatred
of him that was black and beautiful-

Monday a month that Bonnie died and lived,
In the new life of second chance;
from his hospital bed without further ado or delay
Bonnie withdrew his Clansman Membership-

he vowed to worship God
His sons, grandsons followed Pa’s example
ending generations of Clansman Membership

Discharged Bonnie was,
with bouncing healthy body and soul,
to life of Second Chance

With apology made of tears,
Bonnie met with Mark’s family, wife and children
I wished, I, Bonnie a Clansman,
had known yesterdays,
what I know now; O! How I wish.

I today am living in Second Chance
with “Heart” most beautiful that you have given.
Accept, accept me as family, though “White”;
you and I know, indeed I have a Blackman’s heart

and Hearth in a life of Second Chance.

IGBO WE HAIL THEE

19). IGBO, WE HAIL THEE 
Question not thy integrity, might or power.
Be not doubtful thy effectiveness, might or power,
Proudly pound thy chest, thy probity, thy image uphold
O! thou, the ethnic nationalist,
thy country’s unity, the essence of nationhood
thou have championed, nurtured and bore upon thy back
Proudly thou hast labored to build up thy crumbling Nation
Holding the estranging pieces, healing and bandaging

Thou art Igbo; thou art the noblest of the nobles of men
Igbo, we hail thee; Igbo we hail thee; Bravo Igbo bravo

Imponderable nationalism trails thy spirit-heroism
Thy wings unconditionally spread that all be sheltered
Thy sweat tends and irrigates the land that all be nurtured
Thy blood, the bloodshed in martyrdom, a sacrifice for nation’s unity
Your own people, sons of Igbo- Bakashi
sold, land and souls into serfdom in modern day
In the world court of French glory
where veto, glories in flexing the whip of Neo-colonialism
upholding the uneducated and unholy action,
the seed of perpetual unrest sown

That which, perpetually wills to remind, of the pogrom-
The Hausa -Fulani-Yoruba ethnic cleansing;
The blood of innocence that still cry to heaven
The fiendish, conscienceless massacres
of thirty thousand plus Igbo people
Brothers, sisters, wives, pregnant women and babies
The Emirate glory in the so claimed "Allah-approved killings" 
The evils that engendered, Biafra/.

To a people seen as vanquished, and denied,

The forced retardation, the imposition on aspirations
the deceleration of emancipation you still battle.
Thou art Igbo; thou art the noblest of the nobles of men
Igbo, we hail thee;
Igbo we hail thee; Bravo Igbo bravo.

Half the One hundred and fifty penitential years

You have cautioned and lifted the pressure hands. 
Bravo!Thou art Igbo; 
thou art the noble of the noblest of men
Igbo, we hail thee; 
Igbo we hail thee; Bravo Igbo bravo.

Remind thyself of thy ancient father’s glory
The planting of the man of means,

Panya (Potokiri, Poto-Panya and Furenchi)
of Arya Iberi (light-complexioned wavy-haired Igbo)
and Umanna Ike's (Germanik's) enslavement

and the in-prudence of denying their ancestors true origin,
