Mama Ogbo, Nuo Gboo by Knonso(m): 7:31am On Mar 10, 2010 |
Mama Ogbo, Nuo Gboo Now we feel the pains mourners felt It thirsts bitter pills down the throat That humanity never wished for. Now that faith enveloped us with another necessary end It covers like the nightmarish tent That mortals unwish as shelter Mama Ogbo on planet earth now a chapter read Her humble showmanship nothing but a legacy The love she taught now a token Yawning for the earth’s emulation Thirsting for generational extension Mama Ogbo, my tear dries for your heavenly destination But my body wails for the physical vacuum Your niche never to be filled again So painful a 13th January An experience of unrivaled agony Since your marathon age limit consoles I will chant till the Igede of re-unification sounds- “Ihoo! Ihoo!!” Mama Ogbo, nuo gboo |

@dominique, I lost my iconic grandma, Mama Ogbo last two month.De only thing that now give me de much needed solace is poetry.Nuo gbo (a grand amechi awkunanaw dialect-firmly rooted in igbo language) is another way of saying "safe journey". |
