CRY NOT FOR OZUBULU Cry not for Ozubulu The serene community of peace-loving people Whose tranquil the Cathedral murder upset Leaving bloody trail Cry not for Ozubulu The birthplace of ArchDeacon Ben Nwosu The trusted home of Omeifeaku Vincent Ikeotuonye The retirement of Igwe Jerome Udoji Cry not for Ozubulu That sired beloved priests The home town of Rev Eboh Archbishop Jude Okolo's place That loaned Bishop Uzukwu to Minna Cry not for Ozubulu The home of Zixton A school which for 60 years Injected competitive spirit into youths Based on the rule set by the Omeifeaku himself Making pupils seek knowledge For truth & goodness Even when they lose Cry not for Ozubulu Where international public servant, Udoji Rejected the filthy lucre from Irete-cobbled sherrif Whose quaint idea of governance starved workers, Closed down schools, mortgaged the people's future While sorting & 'settling' the influential But Udoji, ever dignified, counselled The naive governor to pay teachers & open schools But cry we must for Ozubulu Invaded by miscreants Whose stock in trade Is flaunting ill-gotten wealth For Ozubulu is only a metaphor For contemporary Igbo society Ewoo... How are the mighty fallen! Cry we must for Ozubulu Where elders sit by While the parturient goat Delivers tied to the tether. Where elders lost the moral spine To guide youths aright Cry we must for Ozubulu Where the man of God Eulogies the crooked Where the clergy exchanges The chalice for shekels Where the ordained would Prefer blood money to blood of Christ In contemporary Igbo society, chai...! To Almighty God we beckon Asking for forgiveness Resolutely determined It will never happen again. Murder in Ozubulu church Mirrors the evil That has befallen Igboland Igbo society is rapidly Descending the abyss, Chineke! To Almighty God we pray To cleanse Igboland The land of Blessed Iwene Tansi The birthplace of saintly Akanu Ibiam The community of Holy Nweje The proud abode of Aba women warriors The beloved society of Chinua Achebe The land walked by Chike Obi With mathematical precision The land which youths in not too distant past Brought glory to Nigeria in sports & athletics To Almighty God we pray to replace Charlatans posing as leaders By solid men of Michael Okpara's genre So that Igboland Will once again stand to be counted Where positive decisions are taken To advance the cause of humanity.
