ONYEBUCHI OKONKWO'S LAST
WORD'S BEFORE THE SUICIDE
ACT AT UNN.
I know I've always been destined for
this,
This path that I'll go.
The music breathes on me
A suffocating feeling of helplessness,
Bring mellow melodies, bind
clandestine claims
For I am your straggler, Mother
Light,
Bide to me to that respledent region,
Clasp me in waltering iridiscence, but,
let me know
The variegated rumble from your
drum,
Tamborines drone still, Yours? I
tread this path
Solitary. Yet the shores are slippery.
I can stay till dawn if now is midnight.
But I cannot know,
Because they have made my future
So uncertain.
Help me,
Mother Light of Wisdom.

I wonder why you had to take your life. Another potential brilliant mind dimmed.
