A Tribute to a Literary Icon – Achebe

 

 

Dear Chinua Achebe

You are so dear

To deprived souls

You loved us dearly

And so were we

you purified and softened

our hearts and minds

with your literary wares

you who had turned

down golds and silvers

for national love

and renaissance.

You are dead and alive

I revere you my rolemodel .

Rest in perfect peace.

 

Iroko Dear!
