Surrogate gods
Masked.
Mmanwu,
Okara mmadu
Okara mmuo,
Mingling with spirits
And
Mingling with mankind.

Your measured movements
Mesmerize,
Your miens
Magisterial,
Magnanimous.

In your presence
We swear,
The truth
Our witness.

We prostrate,
We pronounce our names.
Our palms
We place on your feet
Professing our piety.
