POEM: Oracles for heroes

Oracles for heroes

By Abraham Nwankwo

The two clans will their heroes lose,

In a hardly-fought battle that will last a day.

Two strange events and there will be confusion.

Fear after the abomination

Then the mystery calabash shall be opened to life,

And my servant shall, the secret, see and say:

The seed of disaster and peace in one.

Then will all riddles be clearly solved;

Then will the foolery of man be exposed;

Then will the hero’s strength a fake be proved;

For only the gods can valour boast.
